Heart Rate Lowering Efficacy and Respiratory Safety of Ivabradine in Patients With Obstructive Airway Disease

The purpose of this study is to investigate heart rate lowering efficacy and respiratory safety of ivabradine in patients with asthma and COPD.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In this double blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study, 20 asthmatics and 20 COPD patients received ivabradine 7,5 mg b.i.d. and placebo for 5 days in crossover manner. HR in ECG holter monitoring, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), symptoms, rescue medication consumption and AEs were evaluated in both periods of treatment.
