(HFrEF) or systolic heart failure (as it was commonly known) is a disease of impaired contractility. Long-term inhibition of the neurohormonal system is pivotal to the chronic treatment of HFrEF, which allows for reverse remodeling and is currently the mainstay of treatment, resulting in improved morbidity and mortality. However, targeted therapy to improve contractile function in HFrEF has been less successful, and for acutely decompensated heart failure(ADHF), positive inotropic drugs have consistently fallen short of expectations despite showing improved short-term hemodynamic responses in these patients (1). In fact, prolonged use of positive inotropes increases mortality (2). However, management of ADHF continues to weigh heavily on patient outcomes, health providers, and the health care system as a whole, and as such, there has been no approval of a positive inotrope by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in more than 25 years, since milrinone (Primacor) was approved in 1987 and its generic, milrinone, in 2002.Positive inotropic drugs increase contractility and pump function in HFrEF, either by increasing myosin activity directly (3) or intracellular calcium flux (4), resulting in improved contractile force of the myofilament proteins and, as such, improved cardiac output in ADHF and HFrEF. However, prolonged use of positive inotropic agents worsens outcomes, and some are proarrhythymic, the mechanism of which is thought to be due to increased myocardial oxygen consumption (5) or chronotropic effects through stimulation of b-1 adrenergic receptors (6). Levosimendan, a calcium sensitizer, increases the sensitivity of the heart to calcium but increases cardiac contractility without a rise in intracellular calcium. In 2 separate trials,(7, 8), levosimendan compared to placebo was proarrhythmic despite clinical and symptomatic improvement. Cardiac glycosides inhibit sodium-potassium-ATPase (Na+/K+-ATPase), resulting in sodium accumulation which, in turn, increases cellular calcium. This activates the sodiumcalcium exchanger resulting in a positive inotropic action; however, cardiac glycosides have a very narrow therapeutic window (9). The myosin activator omecamtiv mecarbil improves short-term cardiac performance (ATOMIC-AHF)(10) but long-term effects on mortality remain unstudied.
