Key result
This is a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial evaluating the effect of ivabradine on left ventricular end-diastolic volume in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction after PCI; results are pending.
Why the study?
Despite PCI improving heart function in acute myocardial infarction, mortality and disability remain high, prompting investigation into whether ivabradine can enhance cardiac function and prognosis.
Does the early application of ivabradine improve left ventricular end-diastolic volume in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction and early heart failure after PCI?
RCT (n=500)
Open-label
Stratified block randomization
Yes
Does the early application of ivabradine improve left ventricular end-diastolic volume in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction and early heart failure after PCI?
This study protocol outlines a randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether the early addition of ivabradine to standard therapy improves left ventricular end-diastolic volume in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction and early heart failure after PCI.

Ivabradine may improve heart function after acute anterior MI; leaves open its role pending larger randomized trials.
BackgroundThe incidence of acute myocardial infarction is increasing each year. Percutaneous coronary intervention has become highly preferred for patients with acute myocardial infarction because it not traumatic and improves heart function. However, the mortality and disability rates are still high. For the first time, we used ivabradine in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction. We expect that this new method will enhance heart function and clinical prognosis because of heart rate control, decreases in heart preload and improvements in left ventricular end-diastolic volume.Method and analysisThis is a prospective, randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter and optimally designed clinical trial. A total of 500 patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction after Percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)with early heart failure will be enrolled. Eligible subjects will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio to take the standard drug treatment or receive the standard drug treatment plus ivabradine. The primary outcome measure is left ventricular end-diastolic volume. Left ventricular ejection fraction, adverse cardiac events, and the Canadian angina pectoris score will be evaluated as secondary endpoints. Blood biochemical testing will be used as the safety endpoints. Ethics and dissemination The clinical research will be carried out in strict accordance with the relevant Chinese laws and regulations, the Declaration of Helsinki, and the ethical and scientific principles stipulated by the Chinese GCP. All participants will provide informed consent. The personal information of patients will be kept confidential. Findings from the trial will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences.ClinicalTrials.govID:ChiCTR2000032731,Registered8May,2020 http://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=53275 Trial Statusversion number: Protocol version 1.0., approved9 May,2020Trial ongoingStudy execute time: From 1 September 2020 to 31 Octomber 2022Recruiting time: From 8 May 2020 to 31 December 2022

Gao et al. (2021) conducted an RCT in Acute anterior myocardial infarction after PCI with early heart failure (n=500). Ivabradine vs. Standard drug treatment was evaluated on Left ventricular end-diastolic volume. This is a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial evaluating the effect of ivabradine on left ventricular end-diastolic volume in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction after PCI; results are pending.
