Does oral milrinone improve survival in cardiomyopathic hamsters with severe congestive heart failure?
Does oral milrinone improve survival in cardiomyopathic hamsters with severe congestive heart failure?
Oral milrinone decreased pulmonary congestion and improved survival in some cardiomyopathic hamsters with severe heart failure, though it may have arrhythmogenic potential.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Milrinone showed inconsistent survival effects in this hamster model; leaves open any role in severe HF and requires validation before clinical consideration.
Desjardins et al. (1989) studied this question.
