The present data supports the idea of natriuretic peptides as valuable biomarkers of RVD in
First, when you exercise, your heart rate increases, and this stimulates your heart to release a hormone called atrial natriuretic peptide.
The heart fights back by making its own countering hormones called natriuretic factors, which calm the heart and signal blood vessels in the body to relax and give it a break.
When you exercise, your rapidly beating heart releases a chemical called atrial natriuretic peptide ANP, which crosses over to the brain and directly turns off the stress response.
