Levosimendan treatment after primary organ failure in heart transplantation: a direct way to recovery?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Obliterative bronchiolitis poses a primary obstacle for long-term survival of lung transplant recipients and manifests clinically as bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). Establishing a molecular level screening method to detect BOS-related proteome changes before its diagnosis by forced expiratory volume...
