Kyriakides et al. report an increase of the natriuretic peptides A" and BNP in the systemic circulation during PTCA. While this is an interesting observation, its mechanism is not clear. In addition to the authors' speculations, an acute volume load due to radiocontrast administration should be included/discussed as a plausible explanation for the observed increase in the secretion of natriuretic peptides. We have shown a natriuresis during coronary angiography with and without PTCA that was associated with an increase in plasma A" and particularly with the urinary excretion of the renal natriuretic peptide urodilatin. Because of the hypertonicity of most radiocontrast agents, the physiologically relevant intravascular volume load exceeds the volume of the administered compound. Therefore it would be pertinent for the interpretation of the reported findings to know (a) the volume and (b) the osmolality of the radiocontrast agents employed by Kyriakides et al.
