Does angiotensin II directly stimulate release of atrial natriuretic factor in isolated rabbit hearts?
Ang II can directly stimulate cardiac release of ANF in isolated rabbit hearts independently of changes in hemodynamics.
Systolic pressure and pulse pressure are associated with future development of increased VS. The findings are consistent with the animal literature that increased pulse pressure predisposes to risk of future increased VS. High pulse pressure might play a role in the pathogenesis of normal pressure hydrocephalus.
