Atrial natriuretic factor in hypovolemic tachycardia

  • Published:
Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is released in response to many stimuli which increase right atrial pressure. Following hemorrhage pigs lowered their atrial pressures, developed a tachycardia and increased ANF levels. Electrical pacing increased heart rate and ANF levels. There is a stimulus to ANF release other than atrial stretch, probably heart rate.
