Journal ArticleDOI

A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of pimobendan, a new cardiotonic and vasodilator agent, in patients with severe congestive heart failure.

TL;DR: Pimobendan acutely improves resting left ventricular performance and chronically increases exercise duration and peak oxygen uptake in patients with severe congestive heart failure concomitantly treated with digoxin, diuretics, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnosis and Management of Iron-induced Heart Disease in Cooley's Anemia

TL;DR: Based on successful prevention of heart failure with ACE inhibitors in other forms of cardiomyopathy, multicenter trials are suggested to explore methods to stabilize cardiac function in patients at risk for iron‐induced heart disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

A prospective study of continuous intravenous milrinone therapy for status IB patients awaiting heart transplant at home

TL;DR: Continuous intravenous milrinone therapy can be safely administered at home in selected patients with advanced heart failure who are listed for transplant and this strategy may be an acceptable alternative to prolonged hospitalization for patients dependent on continuous inotropic support.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rationale, design, and methods for a pivotal randomized clinical trial for the assessment of a cardiac support device in patients with New York health association class III-IV heart failure

TL;DR: The Acorn Pivotal Trial will formally test the hypothesis that preventing LV remodeling using a passive cardiac support device will favorably impact the untoward natural history of heart failure and thus represents an important departure from all previous medical and device studies that have been reported to date.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ventricular Assist Device Implant in the Elderly Is Associated With Increased, but Respectable Risk: A Multi-Institutional Study

TL;DR: Patients age 70 and older were more hemodynamically stable pre-VAD implant as evidenced by INTERMACS profile and inotrope dependence, and advanced age was revealed as a predictor of increased mortality after CF LVAD implantation.
