Uses
Cardiotone is a positive inotropic agent and phosphodiesterase inhibitor used in the management of treatment of congestive heart failure.
Used in the treatment of congestive heart failure.
How Cardiotone works
Cardiotone is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor (PDE3), resulting in increased cAMP and cGMP which leads to an increase in the calcium influx like that caused by beta-agonists resulting in increased inotropic effect.
