Clinical, echocardiographic, and hormonal factors influencing spontaneous conversion of recent-onset atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm.
The present study was designed to determine clinical, hormonal, and echocardiographic factors influencing spontaneous conversion to sinus rhythm of recent-onset atrial fibrillation (symptoms <6 hours). The most important predictor of spontaneous conversion was the time of onset of atrial fibrillation; patients who developed the arrhythmia during sleep had the highest probability of spontaneous conversion during the first 24 hours. A second predictor was the plasma concentration of atrial natriuretic peptide during the arrhythmia.

Increased atrial natriuretic peptide in the nephrotic syndrome. Relationship to the renal function and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), angiotensin II (Ang II), and aldosterone (Aldo) in plasma and creatinine clearance (Ccr) were determined during basal conditions in 17 patients with the nephrotic syndrome and 20 control subjects. In addition, six of the patients were studied after seven remissions of the syndrome. In the nephrotic syndrome ANP was higher than in the control group (9.7 (median) versus 7.2 pmol/l, p less than 0.01), Ccr was lower (55 versus 99 ml/min, p less than 0.01). Angiotensin II and Aldo were the same in patients and control subjects. After remission of the syndrome ANP was reduced (11.2 to 5.4 pmol/l, n = 7, p less than 0.02) and Ccr increased (52 to 84 ml/min, n = 7, p less than 0.02), whereas Ang II and Aldo were unchanged. A significant, negative correlation was found between ANP and Ccr in the subgroup of patients in whom the syndrome remitted (Q = -0.547, n = 14, p less than 0.05). Atrial natriuretic peptide was not correlated to either Ang II or Aldo in either of the groups. It is concluded that patients with the nephrotic syndrome have elevated ANP, and it is suggested that a high ANP may be a compensatory phenomenon induced by a decreased renal ability to eliminate sodium and water.
