Scientific titleThe effect of ivabradine versus standard pharmacotherapy on hemodynamics in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and the analysis of the possible mechanism of improvement
Study objectivesSymptoms of CHF and hemodynamics (measured by echocardiogram [ECHO]) will be improved in CHF patients who receive ivabradine versus patients that receive standard pharmacotherapy.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedChronic heart failure
Intervention1. All the patients will be managed with standard CHF therapy: up-titrated beta-blocker dose, angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitor dose, spironolacton dose
2. Adding diuretics, digoxin if indicated (according to the Czech cardiology association guidelines)
3. As well as non-pharmacologic treatment with Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Device (CRT-D) according to the current guidelines of Czech cardiology association
4. The patients in the ivabradine group will in addittion have the up-titrated dose of ivabradine to 7.5 mg twice daily, unless they have bradycardia
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Ivabradine
Primary outcome measure1. Improvement of quality of life
2. Peak oxygen consumption
3. New York Heart Association (NYHA) class improvement
4. Improvement in hemodynamics (measured in non-invasive way with echocardiography and MRI) in patients with CHF after recieving medication of ivabradine in addittion to standard optimized HF pharmacotherapy
Secondary outcome measuresNumber of patients with good response to ivabradine therapy
Overall study start date15/04/2011
Completion date31/12/2015
