GOTHENBURG, Sweden, May 22, 2011 - Results of a new analysis from the largest-ever morbi-mortality study of treatments for chronic heart failure show that the heart rate lowering agent Procoralan(R) (ivabradine) significantly improves health related quality of life.[1] The new data from SHIFT (Systolic Heart Failure Treatment with the If Inhibitor Ivabradine Trial), presented for the first time today at the Heart Failure Congress 2011, are particularly important as quality of life is greatly impaired in patients with congestive heart failure.
