Why the study?
How does the secretion and processing of atrial natriuretic peptide differ between normal hearts and those with circulatory failure at rest and during exercise?
How does the secretion and processing of atrial natriuretic peptide differ between normal hearts and those with circulatory failure at rest and during exercise?
The failing heart secretes ANP in response to left atrial pressure and noradrenaline, unlike the normal heart which responds primarily to right atrial pressure.
