Purpose Of Review: To discuss the role of hemodynamic management in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury.
Recent Findings: Acute kidney injury (AKI) may be associated with persistent alterations in renal perfusion, even when cardiac output and blood pressure are preserved. The effects of interventions aiming at increasing renal perfusion are best evaluated by renal Doppler or contrast enhance ultrasound.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Sepsis is a life-threatening systemic syndrome usually accompanied by myocardial dysfunction. Po-Ge-Jiu-Xin decoction (PGJXD), a traditional Chinese prescription medicine, has been used clinically to treat cardiovascular disease including heart failure, sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) and even septic shock. Previous clinical studies suggested PGJXD has shown promising results in improving cardiac function and treating heart failure in sepsis.

Levosimendan's calcium sensitizing effects in heart muscle cells are well established; yet, its potential impact on skeletal muscle cells has not been evidently determined. Despite controversial results, levosimendan is still expected to interact with skeletal muscle through off-target sites (further than troponin C). Adding to this debate, we investigated levosimendan's acute impact on fast-twitch skeletal muscle biomechanics in a length-dependent activation study by submersing single muscle fibres in a levosimendan-supplemented solution.

Background: Patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA) often experience heart failure (HF) episodes. No evidence is available on inotropic therapy. This study aims to fill this gap by examining the safety and efficacy of levosimendan.
