Conclusions • In a large trial in patients with chronic systolic HF, renal function generally remained stable • However, if renal function worsened, it was strongly associated with an increased risk for events • Baseline heart rate was directly & independently associated with risk of worsening renal function • Treatment with ivabradine had a neutral effect on renal function during 2 years of follow-up • The beneficial prognostic effects and safety of ivabradine were similar in patients with and without renal dysfunction Voors AA et al.
