- B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a cardiac-derived vasodilator and a biomarker for heart failure
Potential pro-thrombotic activity
- BNP can bind to natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPRA) on platelets significantly increasing intracellular cGMP levels and enhanced platelet aggregation, granule secretion, spreading, and clot retraction in vitro1)
