Hints of Benefit With Levosimendan in Pulmonary Hypertension Due to HFpEF

April 15, 2021 For patients who have pulmonary hypertension and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF), treatment with levosimendan (Simdax; Tenax Therapeutics) can improve both pulmonary congestion and submaximal exercise capacity when compared with placebo, according to the results of a small study. While the phase II study missed its primary endpoint, which was a reduction in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) during exercise, levosimendan did reduce PCWPs across the rest, leg raise, and exercise stages. It also led to an improvement in 6-minute walk distance, investigators reported online April 7, 2021, in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Heart Failure.
