| Abstract | Natriuretic peptides (NP) are secreted by cardiomyocytes and are reliable markers of cardiac dysfunction and cardiovascular risk by reflecting myocardial stress due to various etiologies. Clinical and occult heart involvement is frequently observed in patients with rheumatic diseases and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Cardiac disease in autoimmune disorders encompasses different pathophysiological mechanisms including inflammation and involving either the myocardium or the coronary/pulmonary vessels. Although the major trigger for the synthesis and release of NP is myocardial strain, there is also some support for the concept that inflammation stimulates the neurohormonal system of the heart leading to increased production of NP. Recent studies have focused on the association of NP and inflammation in the context of rheumatic diseases, suggesting that up-regulation of neurohormonal axis in these conditions is linked with inflammation. Additionally the NP have a well-documented role in the diagnostic work-up of patients with connective tissue disease who are at increased risk of developing pulmonary hypertension, as the right ventricular overload results in increased NP synthesis and release. However the precise role of NP in the assessment and the management of cardiovascular risk in patients with rheumatic diseases is yet to be established. In the current article we discuss the pathophysiologic mechanisms involved in enhanced NP expression in patients with rheumatic disorders and their potential clinical implication in daily practice. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
