The effect of levosimendan on the right ventricular function in patients with right ventricular dysfunction undergoing mitral valve surgery
Background: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is an important predictor of both immediate and long-term outcomes in valve surgeries. Levosimendan has proven beneficial in improving RV function. Aims: The objective was to study the effect of the addition of levosimendan to the conventional treatment...
