Summary
This study tested whether a drug that lowers heart rate (ivabradine) can improve the flexibility of arteries in healthy people. 30 volunteers aged 25-65 with a resting heart rate of 70 or higher took either the drug or a placebo for 8 days. Researchers measured artery stiffness and function to see if a slower heart rate helps blood vessels stay healthy.
