Abstract Aims Mortality in cardiogenic shock (CS) remains elevated, with the potential for CS causes to impact prognosis and risk stratification. The aim was to investigate in‐hospital prognosis and mortality in CS patients according to aetiology. We also assessed the prognostic accuracy of CardShock and IABP‐SHOCK II scores.

Cilostazol in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction—The CLIP‐HFpEF trial
• Cilostazol is an oral PDE‐3 inhibitor that may have advantageous effects in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). • Cilostazol significantly improved short‐term heart failure‐related health status scores (KCCQ‐12) and NT‐proBNP levels when compared to placebo.

ATP‐sensitive potassium channels (KATPs) have protective effects in ischemia–reperfusion‐induced injuries and can be activated by levosimendan. This study investigated the effects of levosimendan on renal injury, inflammation, apoptosis, and survival in ...

Abstract Aims Despite therapeutic advancements, the prognosis of heart failure (HF) remains poor, with high rates of mortality and readmission, particularly following a HF exacerbation. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a nurse‐coordinated multidisciplinary comprehensive HF management programme on HF patients.

Inhibition of reverse-mode sodium-calcium exchanger activity and apoptosis by levosimendan in human cardiomyocyte progenitor cell-derived cardiomyocytes after anoxia and reoxygenation. [PDF]
Levosimendan, a known calcium sensitizer with positive inotropic and vasodilating properties, might also be cardioprotective during ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) insult. Its effects on calcium homeostasis and apoptosis in I/R injury remain unclear. Na(+)/Ca(

Among patients with ADHF‐related SCAI stage B CS enrolled in SEISMiC, istaroxime at doses up to 1.0 μg/kg/min for up to 60 h was associated with sustained improvements in aortic pulsatility index and LV stroke work index, and with increase of PA compliance and reduction in PA elastance at 48 h.
