Abstract
In patients with chronic cardiac disease plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptide are elevated. The close relationships obtained between right (and/or left) atrial pressure and the peptide concentrations suggest a non-resetting phenomenon of the pressure induced release mechanism in the presence of a maintained responsiveness to acute stimuli.
