title: [The cardiac hormonal system as a link in hemodynamic regulation and water-salt homeostasis].
abstract: Classic and modern data on natriuretic peptide hormones that are synthesized in cardiac atria and participate in hemodynamic and water-salt balance regulation are summarized in this paper. Cumulated data on polypeptide variety, their structure, intracellular syntheses, physiological effects and concentration alterations during model experiments and cardiovascular pathology are presented. Unsolved problems including methods of plasma peptides concentration measurements, their role in heart failure development, and their clinical significance are discussed.
