چکیده

BACKGROUND High levels of endogenous atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) are thought to compensate the condition of patients with heart failure by reducing preload and afterload. However, recent reports have indicated that a high plasma ANP level is a prognostic predictor in patients with heart failure. Therefore, the role of endogenous ANP has not been clearly established in patients with heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS The plasma ANP and cGMP levels were determined in the femoral artery and the femoral vein of 97 patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF). The plasma ANP level decreased significantly, whereas the plasma cGMP levels increased significantly from the femoral artery to the femoral vein. Among patients with mild CHF (n = 52), the plasma cGMP level correlated with the ANP level, and the calculated ANP extraction level also correlated with the calculated cGMP production in the peripheral circulation (r = 0.70, p < 0.001). In contrast, these correlations were not found in patients with severe CHF (n = 45). Among these patients, the plasma cGMP levels seemed to reach a plateau despite high levels of plasma ANP, and the molar ratio of cGMP production to ANP extraction in the peripheral circulation was significantly lower than in patients with mild CHF (36.7 +/- 9.5 versus 183 +/- 17, p < 0.001). In patients with acute severe CHF (n = 9) and those with mild CHF, patients who were administered exogenous ANP, plasma cGMP levels increased in proportion to those of plasma ANP without saturation. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that downregulation of ANP receptors coupled to guanylate cyclase may occur in the peripheral vascular beds of patients with chronic severe CHF.

Vasorelaxing effects of atrial and brain natriuretic peptides on coronary circulation in heart failure.

Natriuretic peptide (NP) receptor has been postulated to be downregulated under a high concentration of atrial NP (ANP) in congestive heart failure (CHF), but limited information is available on how the vascular functional responsiveness to NPs is altered in coronary circulation during CHF. We assessed the relaxant effects of ANP, brain NP (BNP), and other vasodilators in isolated coronary arte...

Phorbol ester and atrial natriuretic peptide receptor response on vascular smooth muscle.

At least two types of receptors for natriuretic peptides have been reported: biologically active receptors coupled with guanylate cyclase (atrial natriuretic peptide [ANP]-B receptors) and clearance receptors (ANP-C receptors). To elucidate the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in the regulation of ANP-B receptors, vascular smooth muscle cells in culture were treated with phorbol ester. Incubation...

Natriuretic Peptide Signaling via Guanylyl Cyclase (GC)-A: An Endogenous Protective Mechanism of the Heart

Atrial and brain natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP, respectively) are cardiac hormones, secretions of which are markedly upregulated during cardiac failure, making their plasma levels clinically useful diagnostic markers. ANP and BNP exert potent diuretic, natriuretic and vasorelaxant effects, which are mediated via their common receptor, guanylyl cyclase (GC)-A (also called natriuretic peptide...
