2 Fig 1 Hemodynamics and inotropy. In both graphs the X-axis shows time in hours from the beginning of levosimendan. Top graph: the left Y-axis shows pressure in mm Hg (MAP, PCWP) and percentage (SvO2). The right Y-axis shows L/min/m2 (cardiac index). –– = MAP; ---- = SvO2; —●— = CI; —▼— = PCWP. Bottom graph: the left Y-axis shows doses of infusions of epinephrine and norepinephrine in ng/kg/min. The right Y-axis shows doses of the infusions of milrinone and levosimendan in micrograms/kg/min. –– = epinephrine; -– = milrinone; ---- = norepinephrine; —— = levosimendan. (CI = cardiac index; FIO2 = inspired oxygen fraction; IABP = intraaortic balloon pump; MAP = mean arterial pressure; mRVD = mild right ventricular dysfunction; PCWP = pulmonary capillary wedge pressure; SvO2 = mixed central venous hemoglobin saturation; TTE = transthoracic echocardiography.)
