RESUMEN
La insuficiencia cardíaca congestiva se ha considerado como un grave problema de salud. De manera tradicional, la insuficiencia cardíaca ha sido manejada con diferentes fármacos, como son los diuréticos, digital, inotrópicos del tipo de las catecolaminas y no catecolaminas; sin embargo, el manejo de los mismos, también tienen efectos secundarios en donde se incluyen la génesis de las arritmias e incluso la muerte. Un nuevo grupo de drogas recientemente ha impactado en el manejo de los pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca aguda y crónica, estos son los sensibilizadores de calcio, que actúan incrementando la contractilidad miocárdica, sin aumentar la liberación del calcio citosólico. El
levosimendan, es un sensibilizador de calcio que además de aumentar la contractilidad, posee efecto vasodilatador por activación de los canales de K
(ATP), siendo ambos mecanismos los que ofrecen una opción terapéutica en la falla cardíaca. Varios estudios han comprobado la eficacia y seguridad de la droga en diferentes estadios y poblaciones, por lo que se considera en la actualidad que el uso del
levosimendan es una alternativa real y segura de tratamiento en aquellos pacientes con falla ventricular aguda o crónica que necesiten soporte farmacológico endovenoso.
