Does acute oral milrinone improve haemodynamic and metabolic parameters in patients with congestive heart failure?
Does acute oral milrinone improve haemodynamic and metabolic parameters in patients with congestive heart failure?
Acute oral milrinone improves left ventricular function via vasodilation and positive inotropism but may cause myocardial oxygen imbalance.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Oral milrinone may reduce LVEDP without raising SV but trends toward higher MVO2; case report leaves open its net utility in HF.
Timmis et al. (1985) studied this question.
