Why the study?
Does ANF administration or endogenous ANF increase renal cGMP production and sodium excretion in dogs with pacing-induced CHF?
Population
Conscious dogs with congestive heart failure (CHF) produced by 6 days of rapid ventricular pacing (n=6)
Comparison
Exogenous ANF administration and endogenous ANF… vs Baseline (before CHF)
Design
Preclinical
Follow-up
6 days

May explain sodium retention via renal ANF resistance in advanced CHF; leaves open cGMP-targeted interventions in clinical trials.
Does ANF administration or endogenous ANF increase renal cGMP production and sodium excretion in dogs with pacing-induced CHF?
Renal ANF resistance and sodium retention in advanced congestive heart failure are linked to attenuated renal cGMP responses to ANF.
