1. Amrinone

   Amrinone, also known as inamrinone, and sold as Inocor, is a pyridine phosphodiesterase 3 inhibitor. It is a drug that may improve the prognosis in patients with congestive heart failure. Amrinone has been shown to increase the contractions initiated in the heart by high-gain calcium induced calcium release (CICR). The positive inotropic effect of amrinone is mediated by the selective enhancement of high-gain CICR, which contributes to the contraction of myocytes by phosphorylation through cAMP dependent protein kinase A (PKA) and Ca2+ calmodulin kinase pathways.

1. amrinone

   Amrinone, also known as inamrinone, is a type of drug that helps to reduce the symptoms of heart failure. It works by inhibiting phosphodiesterase-3, an enzyme that is involved in cardiac and vascular muscle contraction. This inhibition leads to an increase in the hearts contraction and dilates the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. It is typically used in cases of severe congestive heart failure when other treatments are not effective.
