Peak VO2 as assessed by cardio-pulmonary exercise testing. The Vo2 is calculated using the difference between the heart rate at rest and at peak exercise. The heart rate blood pressure and concentaration of inspired oxygen will be monitored regularlr by monitors.

Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
20 patients recruited for the study will be randomised to receive Ivabradine or placebo twice daily for 8 weeks in addition to their usual medications. They will then be crossed over to the other treatment for 8 weeks after a 2 week wash-out period.
Allocation is by numberedcontainers, which is done by the randomisation company.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Randomisation to study drug or placebo is based on a block randomisation. Blocking is used to ensure that comparison groups will be generated according to a predetermined ratio, usually 1:1 or groups of approximately the same size.
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
