Pressure dependent release of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in patients with chronic cardiac diseases: does it
Klinische Wochenschrift
|January 1, 1986
Abstract:
In patients with chronic cardiac disease plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptide are elevated. The close relationships obtained between right (and/or left) atrial pressure and the peptide concentrations suggest a non-resetting phenomenon of the pressure induced release mechanism in the presence of a maintained responsiveness to acute stimuli.
