Patients with permanent AF have elevated levels of ANP and BNP at rest and exhibit much higher exercise release compared to healthy control subjects. This enhanced secretion of potent vasodilating and natriuretic agents may represent an important compensatory mechanism to improve exercise capacity in patients with AF.
