Does atrial natriuretic peptide ( ANP ) suppress acute atrial electrical remodeling in the canine rapid atrial stimulation model?
Administration of ANP prevented the shortening of the ERP and MAP duration in the rapid atrial stimulation model. The effect of ANP on atrial electrical remodeling was considered to be due to its direct action on the myocardium.
The present findings suggest that sleep deprivation produces hyperalgesic changes that cannot be explained by nonspecific alterations in somatosensory functions.
