The optimal therapeutic approach to facilitate reverse remodeling is desired in patients with systolic heart failure following acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The association between heart rate (HR) and reverse remodeling in this cohort has remained elusive.Patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50% who received echocardiography assessments following ACS were retrospectively included.

Ivabradine (IVA) reduces heart rate by inhibiting hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channels (HCNs), which play a role in the promotion of pacemaker activity in cardiac sinoatrial node cells. HCNs are highly expressed in neural and myocardial tissues and are involved in the modulation of inflammatory neuropathic pain. However, whether IVA exerts any effect on myocardial inflammation in the pathogenesis of heart failure is unclear.

Aims: A therapeutic strategy for chronic heart failure (HF) is to lower resting heart rate (HR). Ivabradine is a well-known HR-lowering agent, but limited prospective data exist regarding its use in Chinese patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ivabradine in Chinese patients with chronic HF.
