The relationships between the hemodynamic, renal, and endocrine changes induced by rapid atrial pacing were studied in seven chloralose-anesthetized greyhounds paced from the right atrial appendage for 60 min at 250 beats/min. Pacing increased mean pulmonary wedge pressure, decreased cardiac output, and decreased mean arterial pressure. Systemic vascular resistance did not change significantly. Coronary sinus atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) concentrations rose maximally within 5 min of commencing pacing. The corresponding increase in arterial ANP concentrations during this time was only 44% of its maximum value after 30 min of pacing. Plasma concentrations of arginine vasopressin were unchanged. Plasma renin activity decreased during pacing and showed a marked rebound increase at 60 min postpacing. Plasma norepinephrine levels did not change significantly during pacing. Urine flow increased during the latter 30 min of pacing. There was no significant change in sodium clearance despite high sustained concentrations of ANP. The lack of significant natriuretic and systemic vasodilator effects in association with high arterial plasma concentrations of endogenous ANP, in the absence of antagonistic mechanisms, suggests that the natriuretic and vascular effects of ANP may not be its major physiological actions.
