Brief summary
1. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of levosimendan in the treatment of heart failure ; 2. Guide patients to apply levosimendan individually and establish a dose adjustment program.
Detailed description
The efficacy and safety of levosimendan in Chinese patients with different acetylmetabolites and CrCl(Creatine clreance) were re-evaluated after marketing. The population pharmacokinetics of different populations was studied, and the patients were guided to apply levosimendan individually and establish a dose adjustment program.
