- Values are presented as median values (Q1 – Q3). FMDbase: diameter of brachial artery before hyperaemic stimulus; FMDmax : maximum dilation of brachial artery after hyperaemic stimulus, shown in mm as maximum percentage change in brachial artery diameter compared with FMDbase; NMDbase: diameter of brachial artery before application of 0.4 mg nitroglycerine; NMDmax: maximum dilation of brachial artery after application of 0.4 mg nitroglycerine, shown in mm and as maximum percentage change in brachial artery diameter compared with FMDbase.. Baseline: FMD at 08.00 and 12.00 at study visit 1 (without ivabradine); Acute effect: FMD before and 4 hours after first intake of 7,5 mg ivabradine; Sustained effect: FMD after 4 weeks of ivabradine intake twice daily (10 to 15 mg).
