Comparison of Single-dose and Intermittent Levosimendan Infusion in Patients With Acute Exacerbation of Advanced Heart Failure

Comparison of Single-dose and Intermittent Levosimendan Infusion in Patients With Acute Exacerbation of Advanced Heart Failure

Aim The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of single and intermittent levosimendan infusion on left ventricular performance, biomarkers and neurohormonal activation in patients with acute exerbation of advanced heart failure.Methods Twenty nine patients (20 male, 9 female, mean age 60.2...

Zusammenfassung:Aim The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of single and intermittent levosimendan infusion on left ventricular performance, biomarkers and neurohormonal activation in patients with acute exerbation of advanced heart failure.Methods Twenty nine patients (20 male, 9 female, mean age 60.2±7.4 years) with acute exerbation of advanced heart failure (ejection fraction ≤35%) were included in this study. A significant increase in left ventricular ejection fraction (p
