Abstract
Ivabradine has been shown to improve heart failure with sinus tachycardia by reducing the heart rate without affecting left ventricular systolic function or blood pressure. Here we report a case of a catecholaminedependent patient, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class IV, LVEF of 18%, and low cardiac output, who was able to discontinue intravenous catecholamine by oral administration of ivabradine.
