Welcome to watch recordings from ESC 2018
Practical tutorials on inodilation in acute and advanced heart failure

Watch the tutorials from ESC Congress 2018 in Munich, Germany on Sunday 26 – Tuesday 28 August 2018. Later you will find these videos on www.simdax.com.

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The use of inotropes for correcting hemodynamic dysfunction in patients with congestive heart failure has been described over many decades.

However, negative or insufficient data has been collected on the effects of cardiac glycosides, cathecolamines, and phosphodiesthrase inhibitors on quality of life and survival.

More recently, the calcium sensitizer and potassium channel opener levosimendan has been proposed as a safer inodilatorⁱ.

This series of tutorials focuses on how to use levosimendan safely and effectively in acute and advanced heart failure.
