      Acute ischemic cardiogenic shock is associated with poor prognosis, and the impact of inotropic support on diastolic function in this context is unclear. We assessed two suggested new inotropic strategies in a clinically relevant pig model of ischemic acute heart failure (AHF): treatment with the myosin activator omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) or dobutamine and ivabradine (D+I). Left ventricular (LV) ...
