This study evaluates the release of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) during maximal exercise in 7 patients with untreated moderate to severe hypertension with invasive monitoring of hemodynamic characteristics in relation to sympathetic activity. Peripheral venous ANF (fmol/ml) was determined at rest and maximal exercise producing a respiratory exchange ratio of 1.14 +/- 0.10. In 5 of 7 patients, simultaneous right ventricular and peripheral venous ANF samples could be obtained to assess exercise myocardial secretion of ANF. With exercise, mean blood pressure increased from 150 +/- 26 to 192 +/- 29 mm Hg (p less than 0.001), pulmonary wedge pressure increased from 7 +/- 3 to 18 +/- 10 mm Hg (p less than 0.05) and ANF increased from 11.7 +/- 8.2 to 25.7 +/- 15.9 (p less than 0.02). This ANF response correlated weakly with pulmonary wedge pressure (r = 0.497, p = not significant), since patients without an increase in pulmonary wedge pressure had no increase in ANF. However, changes in pulmonary wedge pressure and plasma norepinephrine during exercise were inversely correlated (r = -0.811, p less than 0.02), with the greatest increase in norepinephrine occurring with a minimal increase in pulmonary wedge pressure. Similarly, ANF and plasma norepinephrine were inversely correlated during exercise (r = -0.869, p less than 0.05). A significant increase in right ventricular ANF indicated myocardial secretion. Plasma ANF therefore increased because of active myocardial production during exercise in patients with moderate to severe hypertension. These findings further suggest a directionally opposing relation between ANF release resulting from increased atrial tension and sympathetic nervous system influence on cardiac performance during exercise.
