Ivabradine Flashcards

Q
Use as anti-anginal
A
Ivabradine is recommended by NICE in patients who experience angina despite beta-blocker/calcium channel blocker monotherapy, or have NYHA II-IV symptoms with an ejection fraction <35% on optimal heart failure therapy. The only significant trial data is in patient cohorts with heart rates over 70bpm. This patient’s resting heart rate and good LV function precludes him from ivabradine therapy.
