May indicate compensatory ANP role in secondary hypertension; hypothesis-generating for therapies, needs prospective trials.
Does atrial natriuretic peptide infusion alter hormonal and renal responses differently in patients with secondary hypertension compared to normotensive subjects?
Patients with secondary hypertension exhibit elevated baseline ANP and an exaggerated natriuretic response to ANP infusion compared to normotensive individuals, suggesting ANP plays a compensatory role in volume and blood pressure regulation in these conditions.
