Abstract

Heart rate reduction with the I(f)-channel-inhibitor ivabradine is a novel and appealing option in the therapy of patients with ischemic heart disease. The aim of the current study was to determine the effects of ivabradine in two different animal models of vascular disease characterized by increased oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction. Wistar rats with angiotensin II induced hypertension and ApoE knockout mice were used as animal models of endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress, with half of the animals receiving ivabradine 10 mg/kg/day in parallel. Ivabradine lead to a sustained 15–20% heart rate reduction, but had no effect on blood pressure. While ivabradine had no effect on endothelial function and vascular reactive oxygen species production in angiotensin II-treated rats, it improved both parameters in ApoE knockout mice. These antioxidative effects were associated with a decreased NADPH oxidase activity and the prevention of eNOS uncoupling. In addition, ivabradine treatment led to an attenuation of angiotensin II signaling and increased the expression of telomere-stabilizing proteins in ApoE knockout mice, which may explain its beneficial effects on the vasculature. The absence of these protective ivabradine effects in angiotensin II-infused rats may relate to the treatment duration or the presence of arterial hypertension.
