Abstract

Abstract Ivabradine is an established treatment for chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF); however, it is not used for acute heart failure treatment. Negative inotropic effects (NIE) often limit the up‐titration of β‐blockers. Contrarily, ivabradine has no NIE, and enables β‐blockers usage for treating patients with acute decompensated HFrEF.
