May reflect physiologic ANF response to exercise in normals; leaves open implications for heart failure or hypertension.
Does graded exercise alter plasma atrial natriuretic factor concentrations and cardiac function in normal subjects?
Graded exercise significantly increases plasma atrial natriuretic factor levels and alters cardiac function in normal subjects, with effects persisting into early recovery.
Donckier et al. (1988) studied this question.
