Key Words	Natriuretic peptides; Hypoxia; Hemoglobin concentration; Volume overload
Core Tip	A new concept is suggested for the understanding of the physiology of natriuretic peptides. Both chemical and physical challenges will ultimately increase the oxygen consumption of the heart which is the factor regulating the release of natriuretic peptides. Diuresis, natriuresis and plasma shift lead to hemoconcentration and the oxygen transport in human body will be enhanced.
