What is "ivabradine"

n. A medication used for the symptomatic management of stable angina pectoris.

Ivabradine, marketed under the trade name Corlanor among others, is a medication used for the symptomatic management of stable heart related chest pain and heart failure not fully managed by beta blockers.

Ivabradine acts by reducing the heart rate via specific inhibition of the funny channel, a mechanism different from that of beta blockers and calcium channel blockers, two commonly prescribed antianginal drugs. Ivabradine is a cardiotonic agent.
