Targeted heart rate control using the funny current inhibitor ivabradine to reduce morbidity in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery: study protocol for a phase 2a, triple-blind, placebo-controlled randomised trial

Background: Myocardial injury is strongly associated with excess morbidity and mortality after noncardiac surgery. Higher heart rate may result in perioperative myocardial injury through demand–supply mismatch. Alternatively, higher heart rates may reflect autonomic dysfunction that promotes myocard...
