Kobayashi et al.33Prospective2056.2 ± 17.824 ± 7SR107.4 ± 12.3Milrinone, vasodilators, diuretics1.5–6Low-dose (1.5 μg/kg/min) landiolol reduced HR by 11% and PCWP and increased SvO2 and SVI. No changes in BP or CI were detected. Higher doses >3 μg/kg/min tended to decrease BP and CI whilst increasing PCWP and systemic vascular resistance.

Conversion to SR was seen in 88% of patients with paroxysmal AF within 24 h of landiolol administration.

In addition, it increased LVEF significantly to 39.7 ± 6.5% and was useful as a bridging treatment to additional therapy of oral blockade, pulmonary vein catheterization or cardiac resynchronization therapy.
