Cardiac transplantation in 10 patients with congestive heart failure resulted in reduction of high plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), preoperatively five-fold above normal, to a level two-fold above normal, which was maintained throughout a 12-week follow-up period. Cardiac function was normalized in all patients. Transient increases in plasma ANP, in four cardiac recipients 3-10-fold their basal levels, could neither be related to rejection episodes nor to cardiac dysfunction, but rather to signs of fluid and sodium retention. High plasma ANP levels in cardiac transplant recipients suggest that the capacity to secrete ANP is preserved in the transplanted heart.
