Summary

This study aimed to assess and compare the cardiac, renal, and clinical efficacy of Levosimendan (LEV), Dobutamine (DOB), and milrinone (MIL) in cases with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) complicated by renal impairment, with a focus on their role in the management of cardiorenal syndrome (CRS).

Conditions

  • Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF)
  • Cardiorenal Syndrome (CRS)

Interventions

DRUG

Levosimendan

Inotropic agents titrated to response to keep mean arterial blood pressure above 55 mmHg : •Levosimendan: loading dose 6-12 microgram/ kg then continuous infusion of 0.05-0.2 µg/kg/min.

DRUG

Dobutamine

Inotropic agents titrated to response to keep mean arterial blood pressure above 55 mmHg : • Dobutamine: continuous infusion starting at 2.5 µg/kg/min, titrated up to 20 µg/kg/min as needed.

DRUG

Milrinone

Inotropic agents titrated to response to keep mean arterial blood pressure above 55 mmHg : • Milrinone: 50 mcg/kg loading dose, then 0.375-0.75 mcg/kg/min IV according to patient response.
