Abstract

Ivabradine is an established treatment for chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) but not for acute heart failure. β-blocker up-titration is often not possible because of its negative inotropic effect (NIE). Ivabradine has no NIE; therefore, it may be preferred over β-blockers in patients with acute decompensated HFrEF.
