Long-term impact of levosimendan on renal function remains undefined. Prospectively, we evaluated effects of levosimendan on renal function in patients with advanced chronic heart failure awaiting cardiac transplantation. Levosimendan improves long-term renal function in advanced chronic heart failure patients awaiting cardiac transplantation.

Limited data exist about the long-term effects of continuous-flow vs pulsatile-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) on end-organ function. On the basis of these data, it appears that continuous- and pulsatile-type LVADs provide adequate blood flow to maintain proper end-organ function during prolonged circulatory support.
