Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1993 Although there is increasing recognition that all inotropic agents are not alike, they continue to be viewed in the generic sense because of the lack of a classification system. Analogous to the classification system proposed for the antiarrhythmic agents over 20 years ago, a classification system is proposed that categorizes inotropic agents according

Predicting right ventricular failure after left ventricular assist device implant: A novel approach
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 1916-1931, June 2025.Abstract Aims Right ventricular (RV) failure (RVF) after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implant is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Modern, data‐driven approaches for defining and predicting RVF have been under‐utilized. Methods Two hundred thirty‐two patients were identified with a mean age of 55 years; 40 (17%) were women, 132 ...

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 2077-2086, June 2025.Abstract Aims The inflammatory profile of cardiogenic shock (CS) after myocardial infarction affects outcomes; however, little is known about the impact of inflammatory changes in CS caused by acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF‐CS). We measured levels of inflammatory cytokines in patients with ADHF‐CS admitted to a cardiac intensive care unit ...
