TY - JOUR AU - Breithardt, O.-A. AB - During recent years, heart failure has been recognized as a complex disease involving both hemodynamic abnormalities caused by reduced contractile forces and neurohormonal changes characterized by an increase in sympathetic tone and an activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system as well as the endothelial pathways. Neurohumoral factors represent the natural response of the individual to heart failure. Among them natriuretic peptides, i. e., brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and amino-terminal pro BNP (Nt-proBNP) release have recently been shown to be a reliable and rapid marker for diagnosis, optimization of pharmacological treatment and risk stratification in heart failure patients.
