May link atrial stretch to ANP release via PI turnover in rats; leaves open human relevance.
Does right atrial stretching increase inositol-(1,4,5)trisphosphate accumulation in isolated rat hearts?
Right atrial dilatation activates the phosphatidylinositol turnover pathway in rat myocardium, suggesting a mechanism for atrial natriuretic peptide release following atrial distention.
Harsdorf et al. (1988) studied this question.
