It is used to treat both decompensated heart failure and myocardial infarctions. This is also known as a heart attack since it can happen at any time. The reason for this is that the heart receives insufficient blood and oxygen, and the heart is unable to maintain proper circulation, which causes the heart to cease pumping.
It also restores the heartbeat and blood pressure to normal levels among patients who have undergone heart surgery or any severe heart condition that reduces heart rate. This is suitable for both children and adults, but only under the doctor’s prescription.
