Plasma Atrial Natriuretic Factor During Chronic Thoracic Inferior Vena Caval Constriction

The effects of chronic constriction of the thoracic inferior vena cava (TIVCC) on plasma atrial natriuretic factor (pANF) were studied in conscious dogs (n = 5). TIVCC decreased left and right atria] pressure and led to a decrease in pANF concentration from 199 ± 12 to 104 ± 14 pg/ml while plasma re...

Description
Summary:The effects of chronic constriction of the thoracic inferior vena cava (TIVCC) on plasma atrial natriuretic factor (pANF) were studied in conscious dogs (n = 5). TIVCC decreased left and right atria] pressure and led to a decrease in pANF concentration from 199 ± 12 to 104 ± 14 pg/ml while plasma renin and vasopressin concentrations increased. These hormonal changes were associated with a significant fall in sodium excretion to
