Pacemaker activity of the heart involves interplay between several ionic currents that inß uence spontaneous diastolic depolarization of the sinoatrial node, including If current. The search for pure heart rate-lowering agents to prevent angina without over all adverse effects of β-blockers[1] began more than three decades ago. The discovery of If current and If channels offered a possible approach to the developing pure heart rate-lowering agents.[1]
