New Drugs and Perspectives in Treating Acute Heart Failure

Therapies for managing ADHF are far from ideal: Hospitalization rates anddisease mortality continue to increase, whereas current pharmacotherapyhas its limitations.As of today, no randomized trial has demonstrated a beneficial effect of anydrug on ADHF prognosis. Thus, there is still a urgent need for bettertherapies. Several drug classes have been developed to correct or mitigatedisordered pathways and, thereby, preserve and protect myocytes. Such arenatriuretic peptides, modulators of soluble and particulate guanylatecyclase, the vasoactive peptide serelaxin, HNO prodrugs, etc.Prof. Mitrovic will discuss the role of vasoactive drugs in the management ofADHF.
