Recent data in experimental acute PE suggest that levosimendan and milrinone showed similar and beneficial hemodynamic profiles – reducing RV afterload and improving RV function without increasing RV mechanical work. (Dobutamine increased CO, but at the cost of an increase in RV afterload and RV mec...
