Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyThe effects of levosimendan on renal function early after heart transplantation: results from a pilot randomized trial.
We evaluated the effects of a levosimendan (LS)-based strategy compared with standard inotropic therapy on renal function in heart transplantation. ⋯ In patients undergoing heart transplantation, levosimendan-based strategy may be associated with better renal function when compared to standard therapy.
