Progress of tolvaptan in treating heart failure
2016
Tolvaptan is a novel oral selective arginine vasopressin V2-receptor antagonist. Tolvaptan improves heart failure signs and symptoms without serious adverse events. Tolvaptan has no effect on all-cause mortality and cardiovascular death or admission rate for heart failure. But in heart failure patients with hyponatremia, tolvaptan can decrease cardiovascular death and admission rate for heart failure.
