Corlanor = core-lan-ore

Core, like an apple core (also, Cor in Latin translates to "heart" in English)
lan, like lanai - a type of porch commonly associated with the state of Hawaii
ore, as in iron ore comes from Michigan
No syllable is emphasized in the literature, so give all three syllables equal emphasis. My two cents: when I say Corlanor, I emphasize the first syllable, "Core."
Written pronunciation source: medication guide for Corlanor on Amgen's website.
Spoken pronunciation examples: drugs.com and cardiologist Dr. Tara Narula says it on YouTube.

ivabradine = eye-VAB-ra-deen

eye, as in Eye of the Tiger (a famous song) https://bit.ly/49cTTRL
VAB, which rhymes with "fab," (like the word, fabulous)
ra, like rough - as in sandpaper feels rough
deen, like the Dean of a college of pharmacy
Written pronunciation sources: USP dictionary online, MedlinePlus.gov, and drugs.com.
Spoken pronunciation example: drugs.com
