The use of amrinone or milrinone is associated with a fall in blood pressure. Some patients have required correction by intravenous infusion of plasma. Therapy with amrinone or milrinone should be administered cautiously in hypotensive patients. Monitoring fluid and electrolyte status, renal function, blood pressure, and heart rate is recommended.
