Ivabradine in the treatment of non‐paroxysmal junctional tachycardia with interference atrioventricular dissociation: A case report

Abstract Ivabradine reduces the heart rate by selectively inhibiting the If current of the sinoatrial node, mainly for the treatment of chronic heart failure with decreased left ventricular systolic function and inappropriate sinus tachycardia, but the inhibitory effect on the atrioventricular node...

description Abstract Ivabradine reduces the heart rate by selectively inhibiting the If current of the sinoatrial node, mainly for the treatment of chronic heart failure with decreased left ventricular systolic function and inappropriate sinus tachycardia, but the inhibitory effect on the atrioventricular node is rarely reported. The patient was admitted to hospital mainly because of intermittent chest pain for 7 years, which worsened for 10 days. Admission electrocardiogram (ECG) considered sinus tachycardia, with QS wave and T wave inversion in II, III, aVF, V3R‐V5R, V4–V9 leads, and non‐paroxysmal junctional tachycardia (NPJT) with interference atrioventricular dissociation. After treatment with ivabradine the ECG returned to normal conduction sequence. NPJT with interference atrioventricular dissociation is a fairly rare electrocardiographic phenomenon. This case reports for the first time that ivabradine is used in the treatment of NPJT with interference atrioventricular dissociation. It is speculated that ivabradine has a potential inhibitory effect on the atrioventricular node.
