Determinants of coronary effects of atrial natriuretic factor in dogs
Abstract
The direct vascular action of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is unclear. In coronary vasculature, vasodilation has been reported as well as vasoconstriction. Doses of ANF, baseline plasma ANF levels and interference with the renin-angiotensin system might account for the controversy. We tried to further analyse determinants of the effect of ANF on coronary blood flow in anaesthetized dogs. The chest was opened and the left anterior descending …
