TURK KARDIYOLOJI DERNEGI ARSIVI-ARCHIVES OF THE TURKISH SOCIETY OF CARDIOLOGY, cilt.38, sa.5, ss.334-340, 2010 (ESCI)
Objectives: Unlike traditional inotropic agents, levosimendan is thought to have a lower potential to induce arrhythmias because it does not increase intracellular calcium levels and myocardial oxygen consumption. We compared the potential effect of levosimendan and dobutamine to induce cardiac arrhythmias in patients with decompensated heart failure.
