ANP levels primarily track atrial mechanics in volume assessment; leaves open precise humoral contributions in disease.
This review summarizes the physiological mechanisms regulating the release of atrial natriuretic factor, highlighting the primary role of atrial wall tension.
Geir Christensen (1993) reported a review. Atrial natriuretic factor was evaluated. Release of atrial natriuretic factor is primarily regulated by mechanical changes in atrial wall tension during the atrial cycle, with humoral factors playing a secondary role.
