Natriuretic Peptide · Cardiology
Nesiritide (Natrecor)

Recombinant BNP for acute decompensated heart failure.

Mechanism

Recombinant human B-type natriuretic peptide that binds natriuretic peptide receptors to cause vasodilation, natriuresis, and reduction of preload/afterload in decompensated heart failure.

Research areas
  • Acute decompensated heart failure
Considerations
  • FDA-approved.
  • Hypotension common; renal monitoring needed.
