Why the study?
Does venous plasma ANF concentration accurately reflect arterial ANF concentration at rest and during exercise in healthy men?
Population
10 healthy male subjects (aged 33-51 years)
Comparison

Venous ANF sampling may reliably estimate arterial levels during exercise; extends resting correlations but leaves open validation in patients.
Does venous plasma ANF concentration accurately reflect arterial ANF concentration at rest and during exercise in healthy men?
Peripheral venous plasma ANF concentration is a reliable indicator of systemic arterial ANF concentration both at rest and during exercise.
Kanstrup et al. (1989) studied this question.
