Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Written, signed and dated informed consent by the patient or the patient's legally authorized representative.
  • Male and female patients over 18 years of age.
  • Patients with chronic heart failure who were diagnosed with acute decompensated heart failure
  • Hospitalization for with a primary or secondary diagnosis at admission of worsening heart failure within the 48 hours prior to start of study drug infusion. Symptoms of worsening heart failure must have been treated with IV diuretics Patients who have been hospitalized more than 48 hours may be enrolled if they fail to improve clinically to treatments administered during the first 48 hours (1)(following initial improvement) their clinical status deteriorates either spontaneously or following the withdrawal of intravenous medications.
  • (2) Infusion rates for continuous IV diuretics, inotropes and vasodilators must have been unchanged for at least 2 hours prior to baseline.
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction less than or equal to 35% as assessed using echocardiography, radionuclide ventriculography or contrast angiography within the previous 12 months 6.Dyspnea at rest at both screening and baseline, as assessed by the patient.

You may not qualify if:

  • Severe obstruction of ventricular outflow tracts such as hemodynamically significant uncorrected primary valve disease and restrictive or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
  • Patients scheduled to receive angioplasty, cardiac surgery, a LV assist device or a heart transplant within 3months after randomization.
  • Patients who have undergone cardioversion during the 4 hours prior to baseline or are expected to undergo cardioversion in the 5 days after baseline.
  • Patients who have undergone a cardiac resynchronization procedure within the 30 days of screening or are expected to undergo such a procedure within 3 months.
  • Patients who have received an IV diuretics dose (including or change in dose of a continuous diuretic infusion) within 2 hours of the baseline assessments.
  • Patients who are intubated or otherwise not able to comply with the pre-study assessments.
  • Stroke or TIA within 3 months prior to randomization.
  • Systolic blood pressure 90 mmHg or less at screening or baseline.
  • Heart rate 120 bpm or greater, persistent for at least 5 minutes at screening or baseline.
  • Serum potassium less than 3.5mmol/l or greater than 5.4 mmol/l.
  • Angina pectoris during the 6 hours before baseline.
  • Administration of amrinone or milrinone within 24 hours before start of study drug infusion.
  • Hypersensitivity to levosimendan or any of the excipients: Povidone, Citric acid, Ethanol
  • A history of Torsades de Pointes.
  • Severe renal insufficiency (serum creatinine \> 450mol/l (5.0 mg/dl)) or on dialysis.
  • +12 more criteria
