Increased circulating bioactive C-type natriuretic peptide is associated with reduced heart rate variability in patients with chronic kidney disease

Abstract Background C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a member of the natriuretic peptide family and have been implicated to be involved in maintaining vascular homeostasis and acting as a cardiac chronotropic agent in experimental studies. However, clinical evidence of its participation in cardio...
