abstract：OBJECTIVES:The state of the vasodilator systems in congestive heart failure is poorly defined. Plasma atrial natriuretic peptide is increased, whereas endothelium derived relaxing factor activity can be decreased. Atrial natriuretic peptide and endothelium derived relaxing factor both cause vascular relaxation by gener...
