This is a novel study that optimizes heart rate.
Optimal heart rate in patients with systolic heart failure remains uncertain. I have proposed a formula to calculate ideal heart rate in each patient. I evaluated the patients with systolic heart failure who started ivabradine, which is a novel medication to purely decrease heart rate without hemodynamic change. The patients who achieved the optimization of their heart rate by ivabradine enjoyed the lowest cardiovascular event rate compared with those who could not achieve the heart rate optimization.
