Nitric oxide (NO) is tonically synthesized by the vascular endothelium and known as a marker of vasodilatation and blood flow. As NO has a critical role in hemodynamics, NO may be associated with other hemodynamics-related factors including atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), B-type natriuretic peptid...
