The effect of beta-blockade on the cardiac natriuretic peptides is poorly understood but could contribute to their beneficial treatment effect and may be relevant to clinical use of plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)/N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) measurements in risk stratification and in titration of anti-heart failure therapy.
