In 22 hyperthyroid patients, atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH) levels (71.91 ± 21.03 pg/ml), measured during a 3-h-Holter, were found to be significantly higher (p<0.001) than those in 20 age-matched normal subjects (37.22 ± 8.73 pg/ml). We have demonstrated that the presence of tachiarrhythmias does not influence ANH release. The positive and significant correlation of FT3 with both ANH and heart rate confirms the hypothesis of a direct action of thyroid hormones on ANH release.

Abstract
In 22 hyperthyroid patients, atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH) levels (71.91 ± 21.03 pg/ml), measured during a 3-h-Holter, were found to be significantly higher (p<0.001) than those in 20 age-matched normal subjects (37.22 ± 8.73 pg/ml). We have demonstrated that the presence of tachiarrhythmias does not influence ANH release. The positive and significant correlation of FT3 with both ANH and heart rate confirms the hypothesis of a direct action of thyroid hormones on ANH release.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
