“…61,62 However, in another case report of patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension, levosimendan failed to reduce PAP. 63 Levosimendan has been shown to be superior to dobutamine in some patient groups: in children with PH undergoing cardiac surgery 64 and in patients with biventricular failure levosimendan improves ejection fraction and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, decreasing systolic PAP. 65 Nevertheless, the role that levosimendan may play in PH with preserved left ventricular function has been little investigated, particularly in chronic PH.…”

“…A variety of preclinical and clinical studies suggest that levosimendan attenuates in pulmonary vascular remodelling and has antiproliferative and anti‐inflammatory effects . Preliminary data has shown that it possesses beneficial haemodynamic effects and improves right ventriculovascular coupling in patients with PH. Levosimendan has been reported to be a novel calcium‐sensitizing drug and a promising agent for PAH therapy …”

“…Alors que la CEC peut être responsable d'une réactivité pulmonaire parfois difficile à contrôler pendant la phase de réanimation, cette action sur les résistances vasculaires pulmonaires est de première importance et a été bien montrée sur un modèle pédiatrique porcin [35]. Ainsi, après une chirurgie cardiaque chez l'enfant, cet effet vasodilatateur pulmonaire semble plus prononcé pour le levosimendan que pour la dobutamine [36]. Si dans le groupe des inodilatateurs (dobutamine, enoximone, milrinone, levosimendan), le levosimendan semble donc particulièrement efficace pour le traitement du choc cardiogénique post-cardiotomie, les rares études randomisées ne permettent pas de conclure à une différence d'efficacité par rapport aux autres traitements inotropes [4,24,37,38].…”
