Heart rate-reducing agents ivabradine and beta-adrenoblockers in the management of patients with stable effort angina

Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading lethality cause in internal medicine. Up to 38% of the patients with coronary events die within the first year. Beta-adrenoblocker (BAB) therapy does not always provide adequate heart rate (HR) reduction. To reduce HR more effectively and, therefore, to increase anti-anginal effect, BAB could be combined with an If channel inhibitor (ivabradine). Effectiveness and safety of the ivabradine + BAB combination was studied in patients with effort angina. One clinical case is presented in detail.
