Why the study?
Does L-arginine intravenous infusion improve hemodynamics and left ventricular function in patients with severe congestive heart failure?
Does L-arginine intravenous infusion improve hemodynamics and left ventricular function in patients with severe congestive heart failure?
Intravenous L-arginine improves cardiac performance by reducing systemic vascular resistance and heart rate in patients with severe congestive heart failure, without affecting contractility.

May support acute hemodynamic assessment of L-arginine in severe HF; hypothesis-generating case report that leaves open need for controlled trials.
Bocchi et al. (2000) studied this question.
