Central interaction of the brain atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP) system and the brain renin-angiotensin system in ANP secretion from heart--evidence for possible brain-heart axis.

abstract：:In sepsis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (MODS), a severe prognostically relevant cardiac autonomic dysfunction exists, as manifested by a strong attenuation of sympathetically and vagally mediated heart rate variability (HRV). The mechanisms underlying this attenu...
