Drug Overview
Corlanor (ivabradine; Servier/Amgen/Ono Pharmaceutical) blocks f-channels and inhibits the f-current, a modulator of the heart’s pacemaker activity. Heart rate (HR) depends on the speed of diastolic depolarization of myocytes from the sinus node. By binding to the f-channels of sinoatrial cells, Corlanor blocks the inward flow of sodium and potassium. This prolongs the myocytes’ depolarization phase, and slows HR. A lower HR decreases cardiac oxygen consumption, and prolonged diastolic times increase myocardial perfusion. Corlanor’s improvements in overall oxygen levels help to reduce cardiovascular risk. The drug’s pure HR-lowering properties prevent it from affecting contractility, or intracardiac conduction.
