TREATMENT DATABASE
Ivabradine, marketed under the trade name Corlanor, is a medication used for the symptomatic management of stable heart-related chest pain and heart failure. Ivabradine acts by reducing the heart rate via specific inhibition of the funny channel, a mechanism different from that of beta blockers and calcium channel blockers, two commonly prescribed antianginal drugs. Ivabradine is a cardiotonic agent.
