title: [Atrial natriuretic factor in chronic heart failure].
abstract: Seventy-six patients with chronic heart failure, stages I-III, that developed after different heart diseases were examined. Catheterization of the right heart was carried out in 51 patients. The concentration of immunoreactive atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) in peripheral blood plasma and in the blood from the right atrium was increased in patients and rose as heart failure progressed. No correlation was discovered between the character of heart disease and the concentration of immunoreactive ANF in the plasma. The latter one was directly dependent on the wedging pressure in the pulmonary artery and on the pressure in the right atrium. The level of immunoreactive ANF in the atrium was higher than in the periphery. However, that was not of statistical power.
