Effect of physical exercise on atrial natriuretic factor and plasma catecholamine concentrations in patients with essential uncomplicated hypertension.
Plasma atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and catecholamine concentrations were determined in 11 untreated patients with uncomplicated essential hypertension and seven normotensive subjects during graded submaximal exercise on a treadmill (loads: I 40%, II 60%, III 80% of maximal oxygen consumption). No significant differences in plasma ANF and catecholamine concentrations were found between the hypertensive and the normotensive subjects. The results do not support the presence of significant differences in the release of ANF and catecholamines during dynamic exercise between patients with uncomplicated essential hypertension and normotensive subjects.
