Abstract:
:A significant diuretic and natriuretic response occurs during paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Although the diuresis may be secondary to suppression of vasopressin secretion, the etiology of the natriuresis remains unexplained. To determine if atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) could contribute to the polyuric response during SVT, 10 patients were studied: five during spontaneous SVT and five during simulated SVT produced by rapid simultaneous atrial and ventricular pacing. Plasma immunoreactive ANF (IR-ANF) levels measured by radioimmunoassay were obtained at baseline (before and/or 24 to 48 hours after SVT) and after at least 15 minutes of SVT in all patients. During spontaneous and simulated SVT, IR-ANF was significantly elevated (mean +/- SE; 275 +/- 68 pmol/L) compared to baseline (28 +/- 7 pmol/L; p = 0.0036). Similar increases in IR-ANF were noted during both simulated and spontaneous SVT. To determine if this IR-ANF release was related to the increase in heart rate or the rise in right atrial pressure during SVT, IR-ANF levels were also measured in five patients with sinus tachycardia and in six patients with congestive heart failure. IR-ANF was significantly related to right atrial pressure (r = 0.93; p = 0.0009) but not to heart rate (r = 0.46). Thus, IR-ANF is elevated during SVT and may contribute to the natriuretic response. The stimulus to IR-ANF secretion during SVT appears to be related to the rise in right atrial pressure rather than to the increase in heart rate.
