Serelaxin and acute heart failure
Heart, 2015Attempts at developing novel therapeutic agents for acute heart failure (AHF) over the past two decades have been marked by disappointment. Relaxin is a human peptide hormone believed to mediate many adaptive haemodynamic changes that occur during pregnancy. Because these effects may be useful for treating AHF, a recombinant version of human relaxin-2,
