1 Simultaneous inhibition of both neutral endopeptidase and ACE with omapatrilat may represent a new treatment strategy in CHF. omapatrilat angiotensin I converting enzyme Homo sapiens
2 RESULTS: Acutely, the 10 mg, 20 mg and 40 mg doses of omapatrilat produced greater reductions in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and systemic vascular resistance compared with 2.5 mg. Higher doses were associated with greater increases in vasodilator and natriuretic peptides, in addition to ACE inhibition. omapatrilat angiotensin I converting enzyme Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSIONS: In CHF, the acute hemodynamic benefit seen with higher doses of omapatrilat was associated with increases in plasma vasodilator and natriuretic peptide levels in addition to ACE inhibition. omapatrilat angiotensin I converting enzyme Homo sapiens
