Rat atrial data do not guide therapy; leaves open whether stretch and endothelin-1 pathways translate to human atrial disease.
Does mechanical stretch or endothelin-1 stimulate natriuretic peptide secretion and early response gene expression in isolated rat atria?
Mechanical stretch and endothelin-1 modulate atrial gene expression and natriuretic peptide secretion through distinct mechanisms in isolated rat atria.
Benoit G. Bruneau (1994) studied this question.
