Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 6505

patients to test the hypothesis that heart rate slowing with the

If inhibitor ivabradine improves cardiovascular outcomes in

patients with:

• Moderate to severe chronic heart failure (HF)

• Hospitalization for worsening HF within the 12 months prior to

randomization

• Left ventricular ejection fraction 35%

• Sinus rhythm and heart rate 70 bpm

• Receiving guidelines-based background HF therapy

Objective of the current analysis

To assess the effect of heart rate slowing with

ivabradine on recurrent hospitalizations for

worsening heart failure

Predominant reason for hospital admissions in patients with HF = worsening HF

High readmission rate after initial hospitalization:

• 20% within one month

• 50% within six months

• 17% are readmitted two or more times

Hospitalization = the major contributor to the cost of HF care

Analysis plan

Effect of ivabradine on • total hospitalizations: incidence rate ratio vs placebo • repeated hospitalizations:

- total-time approach (time from randomization to 1st, 2nd and 3rd hospitalization)

- gap-time approach (time from 1st to 2nd hospitalization)

All approaches adjusted for protocol-specified prognostic factors present pre-randomization (beta-blocker intake, NYHA class, ischaemic cause of HF, LVEF, age, SBP, HR, creatinine clearance)

Limitations

Both of the statistical models have well known limitations total-time approach: treatment effect dependent on

previous hospitalizations (cumulative effect) gap-time approach: restricted set of patients; therefore,

randomization not preserved

Data on hospitalization burden may be influenced by

differences between health care systems in different countries

Page 16: S ystolic  H eart failure treatment with the  I f inhibitor  ivabradine T rial

Heart rate reduction with ivabradine in patients with chronic HF, in sinus rhythm, with heart rate ≥70 bpm and already receiving guidelines-suggested therapies substantially decreases the risk of clinical deterioration as reflected by:

• reduction in the total hospitalizations for worsening HF

• reduction in the incidence of recurrent HF hospitalizations

• increase in time to first and subsequent hospitalizations

This benefit reduces the total burden of HF for the patient and can be expected to substantially reduce health care costs
