Def of BNP / NT-proBNP
B-Type Natriuretic Peptide
Physiology of BNP / NT-proBNP
- Secreted by ventricles (due to LV wall stretch and tension) that is cleaved into proBNR.
- After secretion into ventricles, proBNP is cleaved into the active C-terminal portion and the inactive N-terminal-proBNP portion.
Cause of BNP / NT-proBNP
