Measure
Ivabradine (Corlanor)
All subjects will complete the same number of follow-ups, dose titrations (if necessary) and study procedures however, subjects in this arm will be receiving active drug for study duration. Ivabradine: At discharge from the observation unit, subjects will receive a pill bottle containing oral capsules containing active drug to take at home. This arm will require the subject to take the study medication BID for the duration of the study period. Neither study team nor subject will know if the pill bottle contains active drug or placebo.
Placebo
All subjects will complete the same number of follow-ups, dose titrations (if necessary) and study procedures however, subjects in this arm will be receiving placebo for study duration. Placebo: At discharge from the observation unit, subjects will receive a pill bottle containing oral capsules not containing active drug to take at home. This arm will require the subject to take the study medication BID for the duration of the study period. Neither study team nor subject will know if the pill bottle contains active drug or placebo.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Heart rate to be recorded at baseline, day 14 (+/-1), and day 28 (+/-2).

Population: Only 19 patients were enrolled. Sample size was too small to perform a formal analysis.

Change in heart rate from final visit to baseline visit, measured by 12-lead ECG and Zio® patch.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Heart rate to be recorded at baseline, day 14 (+/-1), and day 28 (+/-2).

Population: Data presented represent the subgroup of 18 self-identified AA. No comparison by randomized group was conducted. Because we report Median, which is a measure of central tendency not Mean, and Range, which shows low and high ends of data, not SD, removal of the 1 non-self identified AA patient from the Ivabridine group had no impact on findings; data remained the same. Because no patients were removed from Placebo group as all were self-identified AA, the data are the same as Outcome Measure 1.
