Different effects of alpha-human atrial natriuretic peptide and nitroglycerin on cardiac dimensions in humans.

abstract：:Cardiopulmonary polygraphy (PG) demonstrates not only parameters for sleep disordered breathing (SDB) but also hemodynamics. We previously developed a software that detects lung to fingertip circulation time (LFCT) derived from PG dataset and reported that those LFCT reflected the cardiac output. The purpose of this s...
