Clinical Trial Summary

Perioperative myocardial injury (PMI) after non-cardiac surgery (NCS), i.e. the elevation of postoperative troponin, occurs in nearly 20% of patients older than 45 years undergoing NCS and is independently and strongly associated with post-operative mortality (30-day mortality up to 10%). With over 300 million surgical interventions every year worldwide, PMI has a high clinical relevance on the health of the population. Heart rate (HR) is an independent and modifiable risk factor for PMI and death after non-cardiac surgery. Numerous studies showed that beta-blockers decrease myocardial ischemia after surgery in a heart-rate dependent manner, but this beneficial effect is surpassed by an increased incidence of perioperative hypotension and death. Currently, no single intervention is available to decrease the risk of perioperative cardiac complications. Ivabradine (IVA) is a negative chronotropic agent without significant effects on contractility or vascular tone and has been shown to improve outcomes in the setting of chronic and acute heart diseases. Rationale for pilot feasibility trial: the planned definitive large trial is a multicenter trial to investigate the efficacy of ivabradine to decrease perioperative myocardial injury. The intervention planned is complex and demands important resources. The investigators designed this pilot study to inform on the feasibility of the definitive large trial. This pilot study will also provide additional information that could help investigators improve the definitive large trial regarding recruitment, refinements to the study protocol and improving the participant's experience.
