Preventive iabp or levosimendan infusion? what is better in high risk patients?
The aim of our study was to compare the efficiency of intraaortic balloon counterpulsation and levosimendan use in patients with low left ventricular ejection fraction ( or = 360 pg/ml) is a predictor of inotropic support in the postoperative period. The results of our study indicate that the use of levosimendan in high risk patients is effective and shows results comparable with intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation
