Chronic stable angina, Chronic heart failure (with reduced ejection fraction) in eligible patients to reduce heart rate
How It Works
Ivabradine selectively inhibits the If (funny) current in the sinoatrial node. This slows the heart rate without reducing contractility or blood pressure significantly. Lower heart rate reduces myocardial oxygen demand and improves symptoms in suitable patients.

Not for acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, severe hypotension, sick sinus syndrome/SA block, pacemaker dependence, severe hepatic impairment, resting heart rate very low, or in combination with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Use caution in conduction disorders and in patients prone to atrial fibrillation; report palpitations or irregular heartbeat. Can cause temporary visual disturbances; caution while driving at night.
