Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main purpose of this study is to determine whether differences in myocardial reserve predict clinical outcomes for heart failure patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is designed as a prospective, observational, crossover study to assess the feasibility of using differences in invasive hemodynamics of cardiac function, representing myocardial reserve, to predict clinical outcomes for heart failure patients. Patients with heart failure referred for right heart catheterization (RHC) by the advanced heart failure team as part of 1) evaluation for advanced heart failure therapies, including left ventricular assist device (LVAD), orthotopic heart transplant (OHT), temporary or long-term inotrope therapy, or counter-pulsation (temporary intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) or long-term with NuPulse device), 2) for accurate assessment of invasive hemodynamics due to worsening clinical status, 3) assessment of myocardial recovery for consideration of LVAD or NuPulse decommissioning or removal or mechanical circulatory support removal, or 4) accurate assessment of cardiac function in patients with reduced LVEF prior to valve replacement for aortic insufficiency (AI) or mitral regurgitation (MR).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

1:1 Randomization to Milrinone

Milrinone will be given as a bolus dose of 50 mcg/kg. If a maintenance milrinone infusion is felt to be necessary, it will be maintained at 0.125-0.375 mcg/kg/min.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

1:1 Randomization to receive milrinone

Intervention Type DRUG

Randomized to receive either inotropic agent: milrinone or no agent

1:1 No Intervention

Subjects without evidence of cardiogenic shock will not receive Milrinone.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
