Hey,
As you have undergone angioplasty you have to continue antiplatelet ( aspirin or clopidogrel).
If you are having pain post angioplasty you have to continue nikoran which is a nitrate. Inapure ( ivabradine) is for reducing the heart rate which is very important for any cardiac patient. But beta blockers are better drug than inapure & also prevents future cardiac events. So its better to replace inapure with beta blocker.
Thanks
