Does acute vasopeptidase inhibition with omapatrilat improve renal and humoral responses compared to ACE inhibition in a canine model of mild heart failure?
Acute vasopeptidase inhibition with omapatrilat provides greater renal and humoral benefits than ACE inhibition alone in experimental mild heart failure, mediated by the natriuretic peptide system.
