Known as a vital heart medication, IV inotropic therapy enhances the force of a patient’s heart muscle, improving contractions. Initiated within the hospital setting for close monitoring, inotropic therapy transitions to home care with support from the Genefic Infusion Rx team once the patient is connected to the infusion pump.
Inotropic therapy is effective in treating various heart conditions, such as:
- Advanced heart failure
- Cardiomyopathy
- Heart failure
- Low cardiac output
- Cardiogenic shock post-myocardial infarction
