Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Angina pectoris is chest pain or discomfort due to coronary heart disease. Several studies have proven the benefit of Ivabradine, not only in the management of angina pectoris. The aim of this study is to observe, under actual prescribing conditions over a period of 4 months, the effects of an exclusive reduction of heart rate with Ivabradine in angina coronary patients.

Who can participate?
Patients aged 18 years and older with stable coronary artery disease

What does the study involve?
All patients for whom the investigator prescribed ivabradine in accordance with current clinical practice for treating patients with angina. Their heart rate is measured and their functional improvement graded using the Canadian Cardiovascular Society grading of Angina Pectoris system. Physician satisfaction is also graded to determine the tolerance, efficacy and effectiveness of ivabradine.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
There are no risks to the participants.

Where is the study run from?
Sponsored by Servier Morocco, managed by Gaya CRO (Morocco)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
October 2017 to April 2019

Who is funding the study?
Servier Maroc (Morocco)

Scientific titleESSENTIEL Hospital: observation of exclusive heart rate reduction effects with ivabradine in angina patients in a hospital setting
Study acronymESSENTEIL
Study objectivesThis is an observational study to observe the effects of an exclusive reduction of heart rate (HR) with ivabradine in stable coronary artery disease.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 22/03/2018, Ethics Committee for Biomedical Research (CERB; Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy- Rabat, Imp. Souissi, Rabat 10100, Morocco; +212 (0)537773560; guedirak@yahoo.fr), ref: 61/18
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCoronary artery disease (CAD) and angina
InterventionThis is an observational study. Each investigator recruited 10 patients presenting symptomatic stable coronary artery disease. The decision to prescribe ivabradine was made by the physician independently of the patient's inclusion in the study.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Ivabradine (Coralan)
Primary outcome measure1. HR measured by electrocardiogram at baseline, after 1 month and after 4 months
2. CCS grades determined using the Canadian Cardiovascular Society grading of angina pectoris system at baseline, after 1 month and after 4 months
Secondary outcome measuresPhysician satisfaction assessed by rating the tolerability, efficacy, and effectiveness of ivabradine on a scale of 0 to 5 after 4 months of ivabradine treatment
