How Inflammation Changes the Heart's Natriuretic Peptide Production

evidence
The takeaway

Inflammatory signals directly regulate cardiac natriuretic peptide gene expression and secretion, explaining why BNP rises in inflammatory conditions beyond heart failure — inflammation-cardiac peptide cross-talk.
