Summary
This study tested whether a drug called levosimendan could help patients with severe heart failure safely stop using a temporary heart-lung machine (ECLS). The drug is meant to strengthen the heart's pumping ability. Researchers compared the drug to a placebo in 82 patients to see if it reduced the chance of failing to come off the machine support.
