RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: NPPB
Name: natriuretic peptide B
Acc ID: DOID:9003936
Term: Cardiomegaly
Definition: Enlargement of the HEART, usually indicated by a cardiothoracic ratio above 0.50. Heart enlargement may involve the right, the left, or both HEART VENTRICLES or HEART ATRIA. Cardiomegaly is a nonspecific symptom seen in patients with chronic systolic heart failure (HEART FAILURE) or several forms of CARDIOMYOPATHIES.
