Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of slowing heart rate upon both central and peripheral blood pressures using a medication called Ivabradine which slows heart rate without affecting heart contraction, and to compare the effects of ivabradine to a traditional blood pressure lowering medication called metoprolol (which is a beta-blocker).
