Effects of Ivabradine on Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Moderate to Severe Chronic Heart Failure and Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction. A Three-year International Multicentre Study

Summary

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of ivabradine over placebo in the reduction of cardiovascular mortality or hospitalisation for worsening heart failure in patients with moderate to severe symptoms of chronic heart failure, a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and currently receiving recommended therapy for this disease.
