Randomized trial of ivabradine in patients with hyperadrenergic postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a complex, multifaceted disorder that impairs functional status and quality of life. Current pharmacological treatments are limited. OBJECTIVES This study investigated the effect of ivabradine (selective blocker of the Ifunny channel in the sinoatrial node) on heart rate, quality of life (QOL), and plasma norepinephrine (NE) levels in patients with hyperadrenergic POTS defined by plasma NE >600 pg/ml and abnormal tilt table test. METHODS In total, 22 patients with hyperadrenergic POTS as the predominant subtype completed a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover trial with ivabradine. Patients were randomized to start either ivabradine or placebo for 1 month, and then were crossed over to the other treatment for 1 month. Heart rate, QOL, and plasma NE levels were measured at baseline and at the end of each treatment month. RESULTS The average age was 33.9 ± 11.7 years, 95.5% were women (n = 21), and 86.4% were White (n = 23). There was a significant reduction in heart rate between placebo and ivabradine (p < 0.001). Patients reported significant improvements in QOL with RAND 36-Item Health Survey 1.0 for physical functioning (p = 0.008) and social functioning (p = 0.021). There was a strong trend in reduction of NE levels upon standing with ivabradine (p = 0.056). Patients did not experience any significant side-effects, such as bradycardia or hypotension, with ivabradine. CONCLUSION Ivabradine is safe and effective in significantly improving heart rate and QOL in patients with hyperadrenergic POTS as the predominant subtype.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
