Natriuretic peptides protect the cardiorenal axis through coordinated cardiac (vasodilation, reduced remodeling) and renal (natriuresis, glomerular hemodynamics) effects — understanding this integration is key to treating heart-kidney disease.

What the researchers found
Natriuretic peptides protect both heart and kidneys through integrated mechanisms: cardiac vasodilation and anti-remodeling combined with renal natriuresis, vasorelaxation, and GFR modulation — establishing the cardiorenal protective axis exploited by sacubitril/valsartan.
