Circulating N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide and cardiac function in response to acute systemic hypoxia in healthy humans
BACKGROUND: As it remains unclear whether hypoxia of cardiomyocytes could trigger the release of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in humans, we investigated whether breathing normobaric hypoxic gas mixture increases the circulating NT-proBNP in healthy male subjects. METHODS: Ten healthy young men (a...
