Renal Response to Levosimendan in Advanced Chronic Heart Failure Patients Listed for Heart Transplantation Predicts Early Postoperative Renal Function Course
In patients awaiting heart transplantation, improvement in renal function after levosimendan therapy was associated with better early post-transplant renal outcomes. Levosimendan response may thus help identify reversible renal dysfunction and serve as a simple tool for transplant evaluation.
