Abstract
Ivabradine, as a specific I(f) current inhibitor, has been widely used in the treatment of chronic heart failure in adults due to its ability to reduce heart rate without affecting myocardial contractility and blood pressure. It has also shown good effects in various types of tachyarrhythmias. However, the application of ivabradine in pediatric cardiovascular diseases still faces many limitations. This article reviews the current research progress on the use of ivabradine in treating pediatric cardiovascular diseases both domestically and internationally, aiming to provide guidance for pediatric cardiologists.
