Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • The following inclusion criteria must be met:
  • Patients with acute decompensated chronic congestive heart failure, NYHA functional class III-IV, either ischemic or non-ischemic, requiring hospitalization, and with clinical indication for parenteral pharmacotherapy and invasive hemodynamic monitoring (i.e indwelling Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheter) and PCWP = 18 mmgHg.
  • Patients must have the clinical diagnosis of CHF made at least 3 month prior to enrollment.
  • Male or female patients, aged 18 years or more. Female patients should be postmenopausal for at least one year.
  • Patients must experience worsening of at least one of the symptoms below leading to hospitalization at the time of entry into the study:
  • Dyspnea Symptoms such as:
  • Dyspnea (labored or difficult breathing) at rest,
  • Dyspnea (labored or difficult breathing) on minimal exertion
  • Orthopnea (difficult breathing except in the upright position),
  • Nocturnal dyspnea (awaken from sleep due to respiratory distress).
  • Clinical evidence of volume overload such as:
  • peripheral edema,
  • hepatic congestion with ascites,
  • pulmonary congestion/rales, or pleural effusion (chest X-ray)
  • jugular venous distension.
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction < 40 % within the last 6 months.
  • Ability to understand and willing to sign informed consent form.
  • Are the trial subjects under 18? no
  • Number of subjects for this age range:
  • F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
  • F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
  • F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
  • F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion Criteria

  • The following factors determined during the run-in period will automatically exclude the subject from participating in the trial:
  • Females of child-bearing potential.
  • Acute de-novo heart failure.
  • Acute myocardial infarction and/or myocardial infarction within 30 days.
  • Valvular heart disease requiring surgical intervention during the course of the study.
  • Heart failure due to or associated with uncorrected primary valvular disease, malfunctioning artificial heart valve, or uncorrected congenital heart disease.
  • Primary hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
  • Acute inflammatory heart disease, e.g. acute myocarditis.
  • Unstable angina requiring angiography
  • Cardiogenic shock
  • Patients requiring any of the following: : nitrates,( e.g. nitroprusside, nitroglycerin); vasodilators (e.g. nesiritide), any intravenous positive inotropic drug (e.g. levosimendan) or vasoconstrictive agents (e.g. catecholamines) within the last 3 hours (dobutamine up to 4 µg/kg/minute is allowed).
  • Need for endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation.
  • Patients with cardiac arrest or patients with history of cardiac arrest within 3 months, unless precipitated by an event such as an acute myocardial infarction, induction by catheter placement, severe transient electrolyte abnormality, an electrophysiology procedure, or addressed by automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator placement.
  • Patients with increased risk of cardiac arrest (e.g. AV Block °III, QTc > 450 msec for men and QTc > 470 msec for women if patient is in sinus rhythm and there is no conduction delay in the ECG influencing the QT-interval.)
  • Ventricular fibrillation within 30 days (> 15 seconds long)
  • Patients showing during ECG monitoring uncontrolled ventricular rhythm disorder.
  • Uncontrolled atrial fibrillation or flutter or any supraventricular tachycardia.
  • Cardiac surgery within the last month (such as cardiac revascularization surgery, valvular surgery, biventricular resynchronization procedure, ventricular reduction surgery or cardiac myoplasty, implantation of mechanical ventricular assist device).
  • Systolic blood pressure < 100 mmHg or > 180 mmHg.
  • Heart rate = 120 BPM
  • Pulmonary embolism within the last 30 days prior to enrollment.
  • PDE 5 inhibitor use within the last 48 hours.
  • Strong CYP2C8 (inhibitors like gemfibrozil(stop at least 24 hours before study drug infusion)
  • Heart failure secondary to pulmonary disease and patients with primary pulmonary arterial hypertension and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
  • History of or clinically significant evidence of any severe disease other than heart failure that preclude participation.
  • Known significant liver disease (e.g. acute clinical hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis).
  • Calculated creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min. using MDRD or Cockroft Gault equation
  • BMI < 20 kg/m2 (BMI equal to 20 is accepted)
  • Drug- or alcohol abuse.
  • Concomitant participation in another trial or study.
  • Therapy with ano
