Does levosimendan infusion improve myocardial efficiency in patients with congestive heart failure?
Levosimendan improves cardiac output and right ventricular efficiency without oxygen wasting in congestive heart failure.
Levosimendan has an energetically favorable short-term profile in the treatment of congestive heart failure. It enhances cardiac output without oxygen wasting, particularly by improving efficiency in the right ventricle.
