REVIEW Pimobendan is a positive inotrope. It sensitizes and increases the binding efficiency of cardiac myofibril to the calcium ions that are already present without increasing the consumption of oxygen and energy. The drug also causes peripheral vasodilation by inhibiting the function of phosphodiesterase III. This results in decreased pressure, translating into smaller cardiac preload and afterload.
