Exp Clin Cardiol . 2010 Apr; 6(4):211-3. PMID: 20428261
Background: Angiocardiography is an important diagnostic modality for evaluation of heart disease. It is well known that the concentration of plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) increases after injection of contrast...

Yoshimura M, Nakayama M, Shimasaki Y, Ogawa H, Kugiyama K, Nakamura S, et al.
Am J Cardiol . 2002 May; 85(6):710-4. PMID: 12000044
In the endothelium, synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) from the amino acid L-arginine is catalyzed by the endothelial NO synthase (eNOS), and the continuously generated NO serves to maintain basal...
