Abstract

We examined the effect of spontaneous breathing with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on the plasma concentrations of immunoreactive (ir) alpha-atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). In three experiments, each of 11 healthy male volunteers performed CPAP at 20, 10 and 0 cm H2O for 2 h during co...
