37 Conclusion 1 In patients with HF Ivabradine reduces CV mortality, mortality for HF and HF hospitalization This beneficial effect is present in ischemic and in nonischemic HF

38 Conclusion 2 Beta-blockers improve prognosis but are often underused in clinical practise Ivabradine alone or in combination with βblockers is more effective than βblockers alone at improving exercise tolerance and quality of life in HF
