Text: Cardiac ultrasound showed that compared with dobutamine group, in the levosimendan group, left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESI) and end-diastolic volume (LVEDI) were significantly lowered [LVESI (mL/m) : 32. 7 9. 2 vs. 48. 2 13. 4, t = 0. 882, P = 0. 000 ; LVEDI (mL/m) : 61. 7 11. 4 vs. 78. 6 13. 6, t = 2. 453, P = 0. 032], and the LVEF was significantly increased (0. 463 0. 068 vs. 0. 383. 085, t = -2. 439, P = 0. 035).
