Megjegyzések:	As a calcium sensitizer and inodilator that augments cardiac contractility without increasing myocardial oxygen demand or exacerbating ischaemia, levosimendan may be well configured to deliver inotropic support in cases of acute heart failure (AHF). Other factors favouring levosimendan in this setting include its extended duration of action due to the formation of an active metabolite and the lack of any attenuation of effect in patients treated with beta-blockers. Effects of levosimendan on systemic haemodynamics include its significant, dose-dependent increases in cardiac output, stroke volume and heart rate, and decreases in right and left ventricular filling and total peripheral resistance. Rapid and sustained reduction in levels of natriuretic peptides is a consistent effect of levosimendan use and potentially favourable effects on other neurohormonal indicators of cardiac distress are also observed. Levosimendan has repeatedly been shown to be effective in relief of symptoms of AHF, notably dyspnoea and fatigue, while mortality data from clinical trials and registries suggest that levosimendan is markedly less likely than catecholaminergic inotropes to worsen prognosis. The vasodilator pharmacology of levosimendan is also pertinent to the drug's use in AHF, in which setting organ under-perfusion is often a key pathology. These considerations suggest that levosimendan may have a more favourable impact on the circumstances of the majority of AHF patients than adrenergic agents that act only or primarily as cardiac stimulants. They also suggest that levosimendan may advantageously be integrated into a comprehensive strategy of early intervention designed and intended to prevent cardiac destabilization worsening to the point where hospitalization is necessary. Levosimendan should be used with caution and with tightened haemodynamic monitoring in patients who have low baseline blood pressure (systolic blood pressure <100?mmHg; diastolic blood pressure <60?mmHg), or who are at risk of a hypotensive episode.
