Abstract

Background-Serelaxin is a promising therapy for acute heart failure. The renal hemodynamic effects of serelaxin in patients with chronic heart failure are unknown.

Methods and Results-In this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study, patients with New York Heart Association Class II to III chronic heart failure, left ventricular ejection fraction

Conclusions-In patients with chronic heart failure, serelaxin increased renal plasma flow and reduced the increase in filtration fraction compared with placebo, but did not affect GFR. These results suggest beneficial renal hemodynamic effects in patients with chronic heart failure.
