Neurohumoral improvement and torsional dynamics in patients with heart failure after treatment with levosimendan
Abstract
Levosimendan improves clinical and hemodynamic parameters exerting an anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic effect in decompensated heart failure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of levosimendan on LV torsion, plasma levels of NT-proBNP and on the balance between pro-inflammatory (TNF-α, IL-6) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10). We enrolled 24 patients (age 62 ± 7 years) with acute HF, NYHA class IV and severe LV...
