Background-Experimental studies have shown that adrenomedullin (AM) causes vasodilatation, diuresis, and a positive inotropic effect. In humans, however, whether infusion of AM has beneficial effects in congestive heart failure (CHF) remains unknown.Methods and Results- Hemodynamic, renal, and hormonal responses to intravenous infusion of human AM (0.05 mu g kg(-1) min(-1)) were examined in 7 patients with CHF and 7 normal healthy subjects (NL). In NL group, AM significantly decreased mean arterial pressure (-16 mm Hg, P
