Ivabradine to Improve Endothelial Function in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease (RIVENDEL)

February 10, 2016 updated by: Germano Di Sciascio, Campus Bio-Medico University

Heart Rate Reduction by IVabradine for Improvement of ENDothELial Function in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: the RIVENDEL Study

This study evaluates the effect of ivabradine on endothelial function in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after complete revascularization with percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PCI). At least 30 days after PCI, patients will be randomized to receive ivabradine 5 mg twice daily or to continue with standard medical therapy.
