what effect does anp have on blood pressure?
neurotransmitter
patients with pacemaker syndrome exhibit increased plasma levels of anp. that's due to increase in left atrial pressure and left ventricular filling pressure, which is due to decreased cardiac output caused by dyssynchrony in atrial and ventricular contraction. anp and bnp are potent arterial and venous vasodilators that can override carotid and aortic baroreceptor reflexes attempting to compensate for decreased blood pressure. usually patients with cannon a waves have higher plasma levels of anp than those without cannon a waves.

for an accurate diagnosis of hypertension to be made, it is essential for proper blood pressure measurement technique to be used. improper measurement of blood pressure is common and can change the blood pressure reading by up to 10 mmhg, which can lead to misdiagnosis and misclassification of hypertension. correct blood pressure measurement technique involves several steps. proper blood pressure measurement requires the person whose blood pressure is being measured to sit quietly for at least five minutes which is then followed by application of a properly fitted blood pressure cuff to a bare upper arm. the person should be seated with their back supported, feet flat on the floor, and with their legs uncrossed. the person whose blood pressure is being measured should avoid talking or moving during this process. the arm being measured should be supported on a flat surface at the level of the heart. blood pressure measurement should be done in a quiet room so the medical professional checking the blood pressure can hear the korotkoff sounds while listening to the brachial artery with a stethoscope for accurate blood pressure measurements. the blood pressure cuff should be deflated slowly (2-3 mmhg per second) while listening for the korotkoff sounds. the bladder should be emptied before a person's blood pressure is measured since this can increase blood pressure by up to 15/10 mmhg. multiple blood pressure readings (at least two) spaced 1–2 minutes apart should be obtained to ensure accuracy. ambulatory blood pressure monitoring over 12 to 24 hours is the most accurate method to confirm the diagnosis. an exception to this is those with very high blood pressure readings especially when there is poor organ function.
