1. To assess the ability of the atria to maintain elevated plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), the temporal changes in plasma ANP concentrations were studied in seven chloralose-anaesthetized dogs during 4 h of sustained rapid cardiac pacing.

1. To determine the influence of loss of atrioventricular synchrony on release of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), plasma ANP concentrations were measured by radioreceptor assay in 16 patients during sequential and ventricular cardiac pacing at normal heart rates. 2. Ventricular pacing induced an increase in plasma ANP concentrations (means ± SEM) from 44 ± 3 to 104 ± 4 pmol/l (P < 0.01) in 11 patients in whom systemic blood pressure was maintained. 3. In contrast, when ventricular pacing was associated with a fall in blood pressure (five patients), ANP levels (means ± SEM) fell from 68 ± 6 to 14 ± 4 pmol/l (n = 5, P < 0.05) within 5 min, despite an increase in atrial pressure. Plasma catecholamines also rose significantly in these latter patients. 4. We conclude that when loss of atrioventricular synchrony is well tolerated haemodynamically, cardiac release of ANP is increased in keeping with elevation in atrial pressure. However, the fall in plasma ANP concentration observed when ventricular pacing produces a fall in blood pressure suggests that in addition to atrial pressure, ANP release may be influenced by negative feedback mechanisms, possibly involving the baroreflex and autonomic nervous system.

1. Diurnal changes in plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), renin, angiotensin II, aldosterone, Cortisol and antidiuretic hormone were investigated in seven normal volunteers studied under standardized conditions of dietary sodium, posture and physical activity. After completion of the diurnal study serial measurements of these variables were continued during, and on recovery from, a 2 day period of severe sodium depletion. 2. Clear diurnal variations in plasma concentrations of renin, angiotensin II, aldosterone, Cortisol and antidiuretic hormone were observed. 3. Plasma ANP concentrations also varied significantly over 24 h. Values peaked about mid-day and a distinct trough in peptide concentrations occurred in the early evening. However, variations in plasma ANP values were of relatively small amplitude and not clearly independent of modest parallel shifts in sodium balance. 4. Changes in plasma ANP concentrations both within the diurnal study period and during sodium deprivation were closely and positively correlated with concomitant changes in cumulative sodium balance. 5. No simple parallel or reciprocal relationships between plasma concentrations of ANP, on the one hand, and concurrent plasma concentrations of other hormones or in the rate of urinary sodium excretion, on the other, were observed during the 25 h of the diurnal study.

Immunoreactive endothelin (ETi) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANPi) blood levels were measured by radioimmunoassay in patients with clinically defined sepsis. The interaction between these two peptides and their relation to circulatory shock and mortality were studied. All septic patients (n = 16) had significantly higher ETi (22.3 ± 11.1 pg/ml) and ANPi (398.3 ± 154.3 pg/ml) plasma concentrations compared to control subjects (ETi, 4.1 ± 1.2; ANPi, 59.1 ± 14.8 pg/ml; n = 13). ETi levels followed the severity of illness according to the APACHE II scoring system and were higher in patients who did not survive. ETi levels were significantly higher in the presence of shock and bacteraemia. Furthermore, ETi correlated well with plasma lactate (r = 0.83, p < 0.05), but not with renal function. ANPi levels did not show correlation with any of these determinants. Serial blood sampling, six consecutive days after admission, showed that ETi levels gradually decreased in normotensive patients in contrast to patients with septic shock. ANPi levels did not show systematic changes in time, and no relationship was observed between ETi and ANPi levels. These results suggest that plasma ETi levels are indicative for disease severity and might have prognostic significance. The role of ANPi during sepsis remains to be eludicated.
