However, I soon realized that fiscal responsibility was a muscle I had to build.

Milrinone, an analogue of amrinone, is a bipyridine derivative with inotropic activity that is almost 20 times more potent than that of amrinone and a shorter half-life. Milrinone is an effective inodilator for patients with decompensated HF and low CO after cardiac surgical procedures. Suggested administration of milrinone is a loading dose of 50 μg/kg over 10 minutes, followed by an infusion of 0.5 μg/ kg per minute (0.375–0.75 μg/kg per min).
