One of the hormones released by the endocardiumThe smooth innermost layer of the heart covers the inner chambers and the cardiac valves. The mechanical structures of the heart include the heart’s layers, chambers, septum, valves, and the major vessels (including the coronary arteries). Each of these structures... is endocardin; a substance that prolongs myocardial contraction.
The endocardium releases hormones such as:
– endocardin, a substance that prolongs myocardial contraction;
– atrial natriuretic factorOne of the hormones released by the endocardium is atrial natriuretic factor (ANF); which is released by the atria to oppose the activity of epinephrine, endothelin and the renin-angiotensin system. The endocardium releases hormones such as: - endocardin, a substance... (ANF), released by the atriaRight and left atria (1/3 volume and muscle mass of the ventricles) pump blood to the ventricles.

– brain natriuretic peptideOne of the hormones released by the endocardium is brain natriuretic peptide (BNP); which is released by the ventricles upon ventricular distention having similar effects to ANF. The endocardium releases hormones such as: - endocardin, a substance that prolongs myocardial... (BNP) which is released by the ventriclesThe larger chambers of the heart (3 times the volume and muscle thickness than the atria), responsible for the pumping of blood to the lungs and the rest of the body. upon ventricular distention having similar effects to ANF.
