Vasopressin receptor antagonists for the treatment of heart failure: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
2015
Background/objectives
Elevated vasopressin may increase systemic vascular resistance and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, subsequently decrease stroke volume and cardiac output. Vasopressin receptor antagonists may counteract these effects and improve outcomes in heart failure. We aimed to assess benefits and harms of vasopressin receptor antagonists (VRAs) versus placebo in addition to standard care in adults with heart failure (HF).
