Clinical Trial Summary

This is a monocentric, prospective, single arm, not for profit study. It is designed to study the early use of ivabradine in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and Ejection Fraction (EF) < 45%.


Clinical Trial Description

The study is divided into a screening and enrollment visit (V1) where eligibility for treatment will be confirmed. Ivabradine will be administered to eligible patients with increasing dosage during the titration period (TP) which will last from a minimum of 3 days to a maximum of 15 days. This will be followed by a maintenance period (MP) of the drug for a further 14 days. The follow-up period (FU) will last 4 months. The dose of ACE inhibitors will be introduced after 72 hours of clinical stability after the introduction of titrated ivabradine at maximum dose according to protocol. The anti-aldosterone will be introduced 24 hours after the introduction of ivabradine. The diuretic will not be modified during the titration phase of the drug, unless there is clinical necessity. During the FU ivabradine will be continued at stable dosage, in order to maintain the target heart rate (HR) reached during the maintenance phase (HR > 80 bpm, in the group of patients older than 6-12 months, or HR > 70 bpm in patients aged 1-3 years or HR > 50 bpm between 3-18 years). In all patients, the drug dose will be decreased or discontinued in case of bradycardia (HR< 80 bpm in patients 6-12 months, HR< 70 bpm in patients 1-3 years of age or HR< 60 bpm in patients 3-18 years of age) and/or symptoms related to bradycardia or for other safety reasons. ;
