First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a heart-rate-lowering drug called ivabradine can improve the flexibility of arteries in healthy people. 20 volunteers with a resting heart rate of 70 or higher took either the drug or a placebo for 8 days. Researchers measured artery stiffness and other heart-related factors to see if a slower heart rate helps keep blood vessels healthy.
