[Renal urodilatin secretion is associated with diuresis and natriuresis after spontaneous, supraventricular tachycardia].
    Zeitschrift fur Kardiologie, 1998, Volume: 87, Issue:2

    Patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) may have a polyuria after termination of tachycardia. There is increasing evidence that the renal peptide urodilatin (ANP (95-126))--and not plasma ANP (ANP (99-126))--is the member of the natriuretic peptide family mediating natriuresis and diuresis in man. In patients with SVT we, therefore, analyzed the relationship between diuresis, natriuresis, plasma ANP, urinary urodilatin excretion and renal excretion of cyclic GMP, the second messenger in the ANP system. During and after clinical presentation with spontaneously occurring SVT, two patients with AV-nodal and one patient with atrioventricular reentry tachycardia (heart rate 160 to 200 bpm) were studied. Urinary urodilatin excretion was correlated to diuresis (r = 0.73) and natriuresis (r = 0.93); similarly urinary cyclic GMP excretion was related to diuresis (r = 0.80) and natriuresis (r = 0.87; p < 0.001, respectively). In contrast, there was no significant correlation between plasma ANP concentrations and diuresis (r = 0.28, n.s.) or natriuresis (r = 0.11, n.s.). As an explorative analysis, stepwise multiple linear regression identified urinary urodilatin as the most important contributor to diuresis and natriuresis after SVT. These data on polyuria after spontaneous SVT further support the view that in man urodilatin is the member of the natriuretic peptide family participating in kidney physiology.
