Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Short-term infusion of carperitide (atrial natriuretic peptide) has beneficial effects on neurohumoral factors; however, it remains unclear whether the effects are sustained for long-term infusion. To evaluate the effects of long-term infusion of carperitide on neurohumoral factors in patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF), we measured neurohumoral factors before and 1 hour after stopping carperitide infusion in 42 CHF patients. Carperitide infusion was continued for more than 2 days until there was symptomatic improvement of CHF. Patients were divided into 2 groups by the median value of infusion duration: group 1 (less than 7 days, n=21) and group 2 (more than 7 days, n=21). In group 1, aldosterone (ALD) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) were significantly increased after stopping carperitide. In contrast, ALD and ET-1 did not change after stopping carperitide in group 2. The molar ratio of cyclic guanosine monophosphate/atrial natriuretic peptide before stopping carperitide was significantly lower in group 2 than in group 1. Suppression of ALD and ET-1 was maintained for 7 days of carperitide infusion, but the beneficial effect on neurohumoral factors was attenuated after more than 7 days, probably through down-regulation of biologic receptors coupled with guanylate cyclase in CHF patients.
