Isi artikel

Levosimendan is a unique therapeutic agent that decreases mortality in acute episodes of decompensated heart failure by increasing myocardial contractility without increasing oxygen consumption or ATP demands, decreasing preload, or decreasing afterload. The mechanism for each accomplishment is novel. The drug is a calcium sensitizer, which increases myocyte contractility by stabilizing troponin C rather than by increasing intracellular calcium. The drug may have implications in numerous other common and chronic medical ailments, even in overdoses of drugs that stun and depress the myocardium.
