Aim / Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of maximal exercise on the level of cardiac remolding and Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) in elite athletes as compared to sedentary healthy subjects and correlation of ANP with the adaptation of athlete’s heart and cardiac remodeling (if any) Place and Duration of Study: The present study was carried out at the Department of Physiology, Army Medical College, with collaboration of Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC) Rawalpindi from June 2003 to May 2004. Methodology: A total number of 44 subjects were included in this study. These comprised of 22 elite endurance athletes and 22 healthy sedentary volunteers as controls. All subjects were examined clinically to rule out the cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases on the basis of medical history, physical examination, and echocardiography. All the selected subjects were examined on a Toshiba Power Vision 6000 echocardiograph for assessing and measuring their LV end-diastolic internal diameter (LVIDd), Diastolic interventricular septal thickness (IVSTd), diastolic posterior wall thickness (PWTd). The left ventricular mass was (LVM) was calculated by using the Devereux formula. They were subject to go for ergometer cycle exercise before breakfast. The Blood samples were drawn before and after exercise to assess the level of ANP in their samples. Results: It was found that LVIDd, IVSTd, PWTd, LVM were higher in athletes as compared to their age, sex and BMI matched controls. The ANP levels in athlete’s plasma were also high in post and pre exercise sample as compared to controls. Conclusion: Systolic blood pressure, Diastolic Blood Pressure and heart rate are lower in endurance elite athletes than matched sedentary controls. The maximal Exercise increases the level of Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) in elite athletes significantly as compared to sedentary healthy controls. There was a Positive correlations between ANP and LVIDd, IVSTd, PWTd, and LVM while there was negative correlation between ANP and heart rate, ANP and Blood pressure. However, none of correlation was found to be statistically significant. Keywords: Athlete’s Heart, ANP, Cardiac remodeling in athletes, Echocardiography of heart

1. Animal experiments have suggested that the renal effects of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) are dependent on dopaminergic activation, predominantly of the DA1-receptor. In man, there is evidence of dependence on the DA2-receptor for the natriuresis produced by central blood volume expansion. 2. Six normal volunteers underwent infusions of α-human ANP preceded by domperidone (a DA2-antagonist) or placebo. Eight volunteers underwent a 3 h period of 10° head-down tilt also preceded by domperidone or placebo. 3. Both the ANP infusion and head-down tilt produced a significant diuresis and natriuresis, neither of which was antagonized by the presence of domperidone. 4. The ANP infusion significantly reduced diastolic blood pressure and produced significant increases in the Doppler-measured aortic blood velocity variables of peak velocity and maximal acceleration. Domperidone had an independent effect of increasing blood pressure but did not appear to have a specific interaction with the haemodynamic effects of ANP. 5. Head-down tilt reduced mean arterial pressure and heart rate and increased maximal acceleration. Again, an independent effect of domperidone was seen on blood pressure. Heart rate and maximal acceleration showed similar changes in the presence of domperidone. 6. Domperidone does not antagonize the renal or haemodynamic effects of ANP and if dopaminergic activation is necessary for the renal action of ANP it is unlikely to be mediated by the DA2-receptor.

Atrial Natriuretic

The effects of passive heat exposure on atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) were studied in six healthy men staying in a Finnish sauna at +92 degrees C for 20 min. Their rectal temperature increased by 0.4 degrees C, and evaporative water loss was 0.92 +/- 0.14 (SD) kg. Heart rate and systolic blood pressure increased significantly during the 20-min exposure. Serum osmolality and plasma arginine vasopressin levels increased during the exposure, then declined, and increased significantly again at 90–120 min. Plasma renin activity and aldosterone increased by two- to fourfold in 20 min. Plasma ANP levels rose from 13 +/- 7 to 39 +/- 15 ng/l at 60 min and to 41 +/- 13 ng/l at 120 min (P less than 0.01 for both). We conclude that transient increases in heart rate and systolic blood pressure or changes in blood volume as inferred from the weight loss do not contribute to the increased plasma ANP levels observed after the heat exposure. Instead, increased secretions of pressor hormones could explain the elevated plasma ANP levels observed after the thermal stress.

1. In a placebo-controlled, randomized dose—response study the effect of the prostaglandin analogue epoprostenol (FlolanR) on the plasma level of atrial natriuretic peptide has been investigated in 14 healthy control subjects. 2. During epoprostenol infusion, atrial natriuretic peptide increased significantly in a dose-dependent manner, while it remained unchanged during placebo infusion [2 ng min−1 kg−1: epoprostenol 13.2% versus placebo −2.9%; 4 ng min−1 kg−1: epoprostenol 13.4% versus placebo −6.1%; 8 ng min−1 kg−1: epoprostenol 40.7% versus placebo −7.8% (medians), P < 0.01 for all]. 3. Mean blood pressure and heart rate increased significantly after epoprostenol, but were unchanged during placebo infusion [8 ng min−1 kg−1; mean blood pressure: epoprostenol −5.6% versus placebo 3.2%; heart rate: epoprostenol 32.7% versus placebo 3.1% (medians), P < 0.01]. 4. It is concluded that epoprostenol given intravenously increases the plasma level of atrial natriuretic peptide. The results support the hypothesis of an interaction between the prostaglandin system and atrial natriuretic peptide.

1. The effects of low dose infusion of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) were observed in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study in six fluid-loaded volunteers. After baseline observations, hourly increments of 0.4, 2 and 10 pmol min−1 kg−1 were infused with continuous observation of heart rate, blood pressure and cardiac output. Plasma ANP, aldosterone, and catecholamines, and urinary volume and sodium excretion, were estimated at half-hourly intervals. 2. ANP infusion resulted in an increase of 35, 98 and 207% in urinary sodium excretion and of 10, 20 and 71% in urinary volume when compared with placebo. Plasma ANP was markedly elevated above placebo levels only during infusion of 10 pmol of ANP min−1 kg−1. 3. No change in heart rate or blood pressure was noted during the study, but a significant fall in stroke volume index was observed during active treatment. Plasma levels of aldosterone and catecholamines were not significantly different on the 2 treatment days. 4. The potent natriuretic and diuretic effects of this peptide at plasma concentrations not significantly elevated from physiological suggest a hormonal role for ANP in the homoeostasis of salt and water balance.
