Why the study?
How do posture and ageing affect circulating atrial natriuretic peptide levels in healthy humans?
How do posture and ageing affect circulating atrial natriuretic peptide levels in healthy humans?
Circulating irANP levels are significantly higher in the elderly and vary with posture and volume loading, which must be considered when interpreting these levels in pathological conditions.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Age- and posture-adjusted irANP interpretation is needed in clinical assessment; leaves open its diagnostic thresholds in elderly cardiovascular disease.
Haller et al. (1987) studied this question.
