Natriuretic peptides(NP) promote natriuresis and diuresis. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is known to act as a rapid response hormone and Brain natriuretic peptide( BNP) more as a “back up hormone” activated only after prolonged ventricular overload .Pro BNP are more stable and have been suggested to have a longer biological half life than other natriuretic peptides .
