Pronunciation: [ˈamɹɪnˌɒn] (IPA) 
Amrinone is a medication used to treat heart failure and increase the strength of heart contractions. It is also known by its brand name, Inamrinone. Amrinone belongs to a class of medicines called phosphodiesterase inhibitors. Some synonyms of amrinone include inotropic agents, positive inotropic drugs, and cardiac stimulants. Other medications that belong to the same class as amrinone include milrinone and ibutilide. These drugs all work by increasing the amount of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in the heart, which helps to improve the heart's ability to contract and pump blood. While amrinone is effective in treating heart failure, it is important to speak to a healthcare professional before taking any medication.
