Initiating ivabradine during hospitalization in patients with acute heart failure: A real-world experience in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Initiating ivabradine in acute heart failure (HF) is still controversial.

Hypothesis

Ivabradine might be effective to be added in acute but hemodynamically stable HF.

Methods

A retrospective cohort of hemodynamically stable acute HF patients was enrolled from January 2018 to January 2020 and followed until July 2020.
