Lead Sponsor:

Mayo Clinic

Conditions:

Congestive Heart Failure

Renal Dysfunction

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-90 years

Phase:

PHASE1

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to show that low dose recombinant BNP coupled with phosphodiesterase V inhibition will improve renal dysfunction and promote relief of volume overload in patinets with acut...

Detailed Description

Renal dysfunction is a common comorbidity, as well as a common and progressive complication, of heart failure (HF). Increasingly, the clinical syndrome of HF is one of "cardiorenal" failure owing to t...
