jangle Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Two published case studies:http://www.ncbi.nlm....les/PMC2995161/http://europace.oxfo.../9/12/1202.longAs well as a single center publication on 20 patients:http://europace.oxfo...t/13/3/427.longIt seems to help ~60% of patients. Not just their tachycardia, but other symptoms of POTS as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jangle Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 You're welcome!I was hoping for some discussion on these topics. Most interesting was the woman who started the therapy and had a remission only to go back to POTS after ceasing the medication. This provides firm evidence that there is a chronic underlying physical mechanism involved with POTS.I know we've had a few members here on ivabradine, some with success others without, does anyone have any further experience?

abbyw Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Interesting. I wonder how it would compare to beta blockers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jangle Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22772053Well according to this study Ivabradine had statistically significant results over metoprolol in treating IST, which is similar to POTS.Other studies have suggested Ivabradine is able to treat patients unresponsive to beta blockers.It will be interesting to see.
