New approach to heart rate control as mortality reduction method in cardiac patients: potential of a new If inhibitor, ivabradine

Large-scale epidemiological studies have demonstrated that heart rate (HR) is an independent risk factor, increasing total, sudden and cardiovascular mortality risk. Ivabradine specifically binds to sinus node (SN) f-channels and reduces HR. Due to its specific SN action and selective If current inh...
