A member asked:
When serelaxin gets fda approval can this cardiovascular prescription be used as a preventative front line defense before any heart failure event takes place?

No way to tell: Can not tell until a medication gets approved and we see what it has been shown to benefit and what risks it has and we can judge how to use it.

Goal?: It is my understanding that serelaxin is being tested as a treatment for acute decompensated heart failure. I am unaware of a role for the prevention of heart failure.
