Key result
In an animal model of pulmonary embolism, levosimendan restored satisfactory right ventricular-vascular coupling by increasing right ventricular contractility and improving pulmonary vascular impedance.

Lambermont et al. (2007) conducted an editorial in Pulmonary embolism with right ventricular failure. Levosimendan was evaluated. In an animal model of pulmonary embolism, levosimendan restored satisfactory right ventricular-vascular coupling by increasing right ventricular contractility and improving pulmonary vascular impedance.
