The use of IV vasoactive drugs, diuretics, vasodilators and inotropes for correcting haemodynamic dysfunction in patients with decompensated heart failure has been described over many decades.1 However, data on their effects on prognosis do not offer a convincing picture of clinical benefit.2 This is particularly true regarding IV inotropes. Clinical data collected on the effects of cardiac… View more
