  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Pharmacokinetic profile - to demonstrate stable plasma levels [0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours]

      Laboratory Analysis: Plasma milrinone concentration

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. (Heart Failure cohort) - to demonstrate evidence of haemodynamic benefit [6 hours]

      ECG and Blood pressure and HR Monitoring Swan Ganz insertion for haemodynamic measurements (RA volume , RVSP, CO, PA, PAWP)
