Abstract: B-type natriuretic peptide,a heart-derived hormone, was found in 1988, which belongs to natriuretic peptides.Like other natriuretic peptides, it can also inhibit the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and sympathetic system，and conclusively, play a crucial role in cardiovascular homeostasis. The relationship between BNP and cardiovascular events has always been an issue. So far, clinically, BNP testing has been useful in the evaluation of heart failure as a cause of acute dyspnea in the emergency department. The role of BNP in cardiovascular events diagnosis, therapy and prognosis still calls for further investigation. In this narrative review, we will summarize the progressive investigation of BNP molecular biology and its role in cardiovascular events

Key words: BNP, Molecular Biology, Cardiovascular Events
