Why the study?
Does C-ANF-(4-23) infusion alter plasma ANF levels and clearance in anesthetized dogs with experimental congestive heart failure compared to normal controls?
Population

Altered ANF clearance in experimental CHF cautions against clinical translation; extends evidence of ANFR-C downregulation but remains hypothesis-generating.
Does C-ANF-(4-23) infusion alter plasma ANF levels and clearance in anesthetized dogs with experimental congestive heart failure compared to normal controls?
ANFR-C plays a significant role in ANF metabolism and clearance, but its pulmonary clearance function appears altered or downregulated in experimental congestive heart failure with chronically elevated ANF.
Perrella et al. (1993) studied this question.
