Historical Background and Book Aim -- The Heart Complexity The Intrinsic Function (Intrinsic Regulation of Heart Rate and Mechanics) -- The Cardiac Natriuretic Hormone System -- Cardiac Natriuretic Hormones as Markers of Cardiovascular Disease: Methodological Aspects -- Clinical Considerations and Applications in Cardiac Diseases -- Clinical Applications in Extra-Cardiac Diseases -- Cardiac Natriuretic Hormone System as Target for Cardiovascular Therapy -- “Inconclusive” Remarks: Past, Present and Future of Natriuretic Peptides.
The rapid knowledge in the field of neuro-humoral regulation of cardiovascular pathophysiology is changing the picture of current diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients. The emerging conceptual revolutionary idea is that heart acts not as a pump, merely, but as a "gland", that is as a regulator of circulatory homeostasis and salt-water balance. Cardiovascular pathophysiology has to be written, indeed, on this basis: this physiology textbook gives an up-to-date description of the complexity and novelty of actual knowledge, with all its potential clinical implications.
