Targeted heart rate control using ivabradine to reduce disease in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery

The FUNNY trial looks at whether a medicine called ivabradine can protect the heart during and after major surgery. Researchers want to see if gently slowing down the heart rate helps people aged 55 and over recover faster, with fewer complications such as heart strain, infections, or kidney problems.
