Plasma Neprilysin Displays No Relevant Association With Neurohumoral Activation in Chronic HFrEF
Background Neprilysin is a transmembrane endopeptidase involved in the breakdown of a variety of vasoactive peptides and serves as a therapeutic target in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
