The invention provides methods for the modulation of cardiac function by the administration of a growth hormone secretagogue, which results in an increase in the levels of endogenous growth hormone. Also provided are methods for the treatment of congestive heart failure by the administration of a growth hormone secretagogue. Further provided are methods for the treatment of congestive heart failure by the administration of a growth hormone secretagogue in combination with a growth hormone releasing hormone, or in combination with an antihypertensive agent, diuretic, or other suitable agents.
