For cardiac arrest, a 100 mg bolus is given, which may be repeated after 5–10 minutes. If successful cardioversion occurs, plasma levels can be maintained by an intravenous infusion of 2–4 mg/min.

Participants in the treatment group improved their GLS (global longitudinal strain), a marker of heart contractility, by an average of 2.55%, while participants in the placebo group experienced an ...
