Haemodynamic effects of aliskiren in decompensated severe heart failure

Aim : The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) has dual pathways to angiotensin II production; therefore, multiple blockages may be useful in heart failure. In this study, we evaluated the short-term haemodynamic effects of aliskiren, a direct renin inhibitor, in patients with decompensated s...
