Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| A change in left ventricular diastolic function (E/e') between baseline and 12 weeks after the start of administration of ivabradine. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.A change in brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) between baseline and 12 weeks after the start of administration of ivabradine. 2.A change in left atrial volume index between baseline and 12 weeks after the start of administration of ivabradine. 3.A change in global longitudinal strain (GLS) between baseline and 12 weeks after the start of administration of ivabradine. 4.A chang e in dyspnea on exertion between baseline and 12 weeks after the start of administrati on of ivabradine. | — |
