Core Tip Anthracyclines-induced chemotherapy is associated with a risk of cardiotoxicity, often manifesting as reductions in left ventricular ejection fraction and subclinical myocardial injury. In this meta-analysis of randomized studies, ivabradine did not demonstrate a significant effect in preserving left ventricular ejection fraction or improving cardiac biomarkers, including troponin and NT-proBNP, nor did it significantly reduce global longitudinal strain deterioration. These findings suggest that while ivabradine is well tolerated and does not adversely affect blood pressure, current evidence does not support its routine use for the prevention of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. Larger randomized trials are needed to clarify its potential cardioprotective role.
