Excerpt

Mitaka and colleagues [1] recently reported in their meta-analysis that carperitide infusion improved the renal function of cardiovascular surgical patients, and we feel that this notion could be expanded to medical patients, particularly with the use of carperitide. Although some studies have not been able to recommend the use of nesiritide in acute heart failure (HF) patients [2, 3], more recent clinical trials have demonstrated a favorable effect of carperitide on ventricular remodeling and neurohormonal systems [4, 5]. …
