Objective: Levosimendan is a novel drug often used to treat heart failure. We aimed to explore the effects of levosimendan preconditioning on left ventricular remodeling (LVR) after myocardial reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients receiving the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A total of 258 AMI patients treated from January 2018 to September 2020 were randomly divided into control and observation groups. Based on conventional drug therapy, levosimendan was given 30 min before PCI for the observation group, and dobutamine was intravenously injected for the control group. Baseline data, thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) blood flow grade, myocardial injury markers, and LVR indices were compared, and the influencing factors for LVR were analyzed. Results: After treatment, various degrees of blood perfusion were found, and the TIMI grade was better than that before treatment in both groups (P < .05). The levels of aspartate aminotransferase, creatine kinase-MB, cardiac troponin T, and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) declined in both groups, more significantly in the observation group (P < .05). Left ventricular end-systolic diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and left ventricular end-diastolic volume declined, whereas left ventricular ejection fraction rose in both groups, more significantly in the observation group (P < .05). Age and BNP were risk factors for LVR, whereas levosimendan preconditioning was a protective factor (P < .05). Conclusion: Levosimendan preconditioning can protect cardiac function and promote the recovery of the left ventricular structure. Age and BNP are risk factors for LVR after myocardial reperfusion in AMI patients undergoing PCI, and levosimendan preconditioning is a protective factor.
