Home inotrope therapy in chronic stimulant-induced cardiomyopathy: a case series
Home inotrope should be viewed as an option in chronic stimulant-induced cardiomyopathy on a case-by-case basis. It can buy time to allow for myocardial stabilization or recovery through goal-directed medical therapy and stimulant cessation. It can also serve as a 'psychosocial stress test' for future consideration of advanced heart failure therapies.
