Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for treating acute or chronic heart failure using inorganic nitrite, such as sodium nitrite. The method includes administering to a subject in need of treatment a therapeutically effective amount of inorganic nitrite. The nitrite may be administered by inhalation and may be nebulized. The nitrite may be administered at an emitted dose or in an escalated titrated dose. The nitrite may be a liquid formulation or a dry powder formulation.

Abstract: Provided methods of administering poloxamer 188 for treating heart failure by only a single short relatively high dose infusion, or by regimen that includes the single infusion followed by additional infusions at intervals of 1-4 weeks.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are formulations of nitrite, nitrite salt, or nitrite- or nitric oxide-producing compounds suitable for aerosolization and use of such formulations for aerosol administration of nitrite, nitrite salt, or nitrite- or nitric oxide-donating compounds for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, intra-nasal or pulmonary bacterial infections, or to treat or prevent ischemic reperfusion injury of the heart, brain and organs involved in transplantation. In particular, inhaled nitrite, nitrite salt, or nitrite- or nitric oxide-donating compound specifically formulated and delivered to the respiratory tract for the indications is described. Compositions include all formulations, kits, and device combinations described herein. Methods include inhalation procedures and manufacturing processes for production and use of the compositions described.
