The Effect of Ivabradine on the Human Atrial Myocardial Contractility in an In Vitro Study
Purpose. Ivabradine has emerged as a new antiarrhythmic agent that could compete with the traditional ones, such as beta-blockers. This experimental study aims to ascertain whether ivabradine directly interferes with the myocardial contractility in an in vitro environment. Methods. Myocardial tissue...
