Ivabradine, sold under the brand name Procoralan among others, is a medicationused for the symptomatic management of stable heart-related chest pain and heart failure not fully managed by beta blockers.[1]
Ivabradine acts by allowing negative chronotropy in the sinoatrial structure thus reducing the heart rate via specific inhibition of the pacemaker current, a mechanism different from that of beta blockers and calcium channel blockers, two commonly prescribed antianginal classes of cardiac pharmaceuticals. Ivabradine has no apparent inotropic properties and may be a cardiotonic agent.
