10 reasons why it is worth to use ivabradine Review article
Main Article Content
Abstract
Ivabradine is a unique, modern drug whose mechanism of action consists in blocking the If current in the sinoatrial node. This translates into a reduction in heart rate ? a parameter associated with an unfavorable prognosis in patients with heart failure. Nowadays, it is a different group of patients than it was encountered in clinical practice a few years ago. Due to different demographic structure and other health needs, methods of pharmacological treatment also need to be constantly modified. Ivabradine is a drug that responds to the needs of the modern patient ? ensures not only the reduction of mortality, but also has a positive effect on such factors as the risk of repeated hospitalization, haemodynamic parameters, exercise capacity and quality of life.
