Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to find out if a man-made heart hormone (“MAD001”) improves the treatment of people diagnosed with acute decompensated congestive heart failure (ADCHF). This substance improves several heart functions, lowers blood pressure and increases salt (sodium) and water removal from the body, when given to animals, healthy humans and persons with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF). The purpose of this study is to determine if this substance also improves heart functionality, and to a lesser extent increases sodium and/or water removal, in persons with ADCHF to improve their condition.
Interventions
Examine whether administration of Vessel Dilator (VSDL) to ADCHF patients in single and multi-dosage regimes induce changes in hemodynamic parameters with renal, natriuretic and diuretic effects as seen in the treatment of CHF patients without serious adverse side-effects (SAE);
1.Single dose of intravenous (IV) VSDL in saline at 50 ng/kg/min for 60 min (n=6)
2.Single dose of IV VSDL in saline at 100 ng/kg/min for 60 min (n=6)
3.Single dose of IV VSDL in saline at 200 ng/kg/min for 60 min (n=6)

Inclusion criteria
Upon diagnosis of ADCHF (New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III - NYHA class IV) with evidence of the following: 1. Signed written informed consent 2. Male and/or female, 18 years or older 3. Women of child bearing potential to test negative to beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (ß-hCG) 4.Systolic dysfunction within the last 12 months (EF <40%) as determined by Trans-Thoracic Echocardiogram (TTE)
Exclusion criteria
1. Evidence in the Emergency Department (ED) for Myocardial Infarction (MI) or high risk acute coronary syndrome within past 6 weeks, as determined by creatinine kinase (CK)/creatinine kinase muscle-brain isoenzyme (CK-MB) = 3 times upper limit of normal (as defined by Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science (IMVS)) or elevation of troponin T at baseline >0.1 2.
