The present invention relates to methods for administration of natriuretic peptide that are especially useful for treatment of a CHF patient who is relatively compensated, or to a CHF patient in an outpatient setting, and especially as an adjunct to oral therapy. The methods are characterized by administration of a composition that provides a dose of natriuretic peptide that is lower than that dose typically administered to a CHF patient who is in need of acute treatment. The methods of the invention are also useful for the treatment of chronic CHF patients, especially subacute chronic CHF patients. |
