  • Title: Levosimendan use in several scenarios of acute heart failure.
    Author: Tavares M, Andrade AC, Mebazaa A.
    Journal: Arq Bras Cardiol; 2008 Mar; 90(3):211-5. PubMed ID: 18392402.
    Abstract:
    In countries where it is available, early levosimendan infusion can be considered for patients who remain symptomatic with dyspnea at rest despite initial therapy, particularly those with a history of chronic heart failure or chronically treated with beta-blockers. Hypotensive patients or patients with active ischemia are not the best candidates for levosimendan administration and should have these problems addressed first.
