This case report suggests ivabradine can effectively reduce the rate of focal atrial tachycardia and reverse resulting tachycardiomyopathy.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support ivabradine for focal atrial tachycardia with tachycardiomyopathy; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective trials.
Ivabradine has been shown to be effective in reducing sinus rate. Here we report of a case where ivabradine reduced the rate of a focal atrial tachycardia relieving patient's symptoms and reversing tachycardiomyopathy.
