Nesiritide in pulmonary hypertension

Damian C Kurian et al. Chest. 2004 Jul.

Abstract

We present the case of a patient with severe symptomatic pulmonary hypertension due to rheumatic mitral valve disease who was refractory to traditional therapies, including prostacyclin. Therapy with continuous nesiritide infusion resulted in significant and sustained decreases in pulmonary vascular resistance, an improvement in renal function, and the maintenance of euvolemia.
