Why the study?
Do atrial natriuretic peptides ANF (1-98) and ANF (99-126) correlate with cardiopulmonary hemodynamics and atrial distension in patients with chronic heart disease?
Do atrial natriuretic peptides ANF (1-98) and ANF (99-126) correlate with cardiopulmonary hemodynamics and atrial distension in patients with chronic heart disease?
Plasma concentrations of ANF (1-98) and ANF (99-126) correlate closely with cardiopulmonary hemodynamics and severity of heart failure, suggesting their utility as diagnostic markers of atrial distension.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
ANF levels were associated with pulmonary pressures in heart disease; leaves open their diagnostic utility as atrial distension markers pending prospective studies.
Mathisen et al. (1993) studied this question.
