Neonates with acute liver failure have higher overall mortality but similar posttransplant outcomes as older infants

Liver Transplantation, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Neonatal acute liver failure (ALF) carries a high mortality rate; however, little data exist on its peritransplant hospital course. This project aimed to identify factors associated with outcomes in neonates with ALF using large multicenter databases.

Perioperative Levosimendan Infusion in Patients With End-Stage Heart Failure Undergoing Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy has been instrumental in saving lives of patients with end-stage heart failure (HF). Recent generation devices have short-to-mid-term survival rates close to heart transplantation. Unfortunately, up to 1 in 4

Beta-blocker management in patients admitted for acute heart failure and reduced ejection fraction: a review and expert consensus opinion

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
The role of the beta-adrenergic signaling pathway in heart failure (HF) is pivotal. Early blockade of this pathway with beta-blocker (BB) therapy is recommended as the first-line medication for patients with HF and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF ...

A prospective observational study on usage of inotropes in a coronary care unit

National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2019
Background: Treatment with inotropes is generally reserved for most severely ill patients and so increased mortality can be coincidental. Several clinical trials in a wide range of clinical settings have been performed with controversial results to ...

Approach to Shock

McGill Journal of Medicine, 2022
Shock is a life-threatening pathophysiologic state referring to inadequate organ perfusion, which can progress to end-organ dysfunction and eventually, multiple organ failure and death. The diagnosis of shock is clinical, necessitating good understanding

Inotropes

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2014
Inotropes have been fundamental to resuscitation of acute cardiogenic shock for decades. Heart failure and cardiogenic shock, in severe cases, are syndromes characterized in many patients by a reduction in myocardial contractile force. While inotropes successfully increase cardiac output, their use has been plagued by excessive mortality due to ...

Inotropic Action of Hexamethonium [PDF]

Circulation Research, 1958
The positive inotropic action of hexamethonium in hypodynamic and freshly prepared papillary muscles of the eat and the hypodynamic heart-lung preparation of the dog has been demonstrated. Within certain limits, there exists a proportionality between the concentration of hexamethonium and the magnitude of the inotropic response.
