The availability of highly purified recombinant human relaxin, serelaxin, has allowed clinical trials to be conducted in several indications and the elucidation of its pharmacology in human subjects. These studies have demonstrated that serelaxin has unique haemodynamic properties that are likely to contribute to organ protection and long-term outcome benefits in acute heart failure. Clinical observations support its consideration for therapeutic use in other patient populations, including those with chronic heart failure, coronary artery disease, portal hypertension and acute renal failure.
