Tigan Pharmacology
Levosimendan is a new Ca2+-sensitizing inotropic agent. Ca2+ sensitizers represent a new class of inotropic agents, which overcome the disadvantages associated with currently available inotropic agents in as they are not associated with an increased risk of arrhythmias, cell injury and death due to Ca2+ overload in myocardial cells; they do not increase the activation energy; and they have the potential to reverse contractile dysfunction under pathophysiologic conditions, such as acidosis or myocardial stunning. Levosimendan has not been approved for use in the U.S. or Canada.
Tigan Absorption
The bioavailability of oral levosimendan is 85 ± 6% in healthy volunteers and 84 ± 4% in patients.
