AbstractMilrinone enhances myocardial contraction and has vasodilating activity by inhibiting phosphodiesterase (PDE) in the myocardial cells, increasing cellular cAMP and inducing increased Ca2+ inflow 1,2). Some patients with severe cardiac failure require continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF) due to complicated renal failure. We report a case in which CHDF was performed during the administration of milrinone after open heart surgery and the plasma concentration of the drug was measured.
