Systolic Heart failure treatment withthe Ifinhibitor ivabradine Trial Effects on Outcomes of Heart Rate Reduction by Ivabradine in Patients With Congestive Heart Failure: Is There an Influence of Beta-Blocker Dose?
Clinical characteristics of patients by β-blocker status Swedberg K, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol2012;59:1938-1945.
Effect of ivabradine on outcomes by β-blocker doses **adjusted for interaction between baseline HR and randomisedtreatment Swedberg K, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol2012;59:1938-1945.
HR reduction according toβ-blocker and HR category HR reduction (bpm) from baseline to 28 days with ivabradine* Baseline HR category (bpm) ≥87 80 to <87 75 to <80 72 to <75 Impact of baseline HR on HR reduction with ivabradine <72 No BB BB<25% BB 25-50% BB 50-100% BB ≥100% β-blocker category No impact of BB dose on HR reduction with ivabradine *Placebo corrected Swedberg K, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol2012;59:1938-1945.
Conclusion • In patients with systolic HF treated with guideline-recommended therapies, resting HR remains an important modifiable risk factor in patients treated with β-blockers • When HR≥70 bpm, reduction of heart rate with ivabradine will provide additional clinical benefits regardless of the -blocker dose • The magnitude of HR reduction with ivabradine, beyond that achieved by β-blockers, primarily determines subsequent outcome Swedberg K, et al.
