OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of the Monotherapy Assessment of Ranolazine In Stable Angina (MARISA) trial was to determine the dose-response relationship of ranolazine, a potentially new… (More)
BACKGROUND
Many patients with heart failure remain symptomatic and have a poor prognosis despite existing treatments. Decreases in myocardial contractility and shortening of ventricular systole are… (More)
BACKGROUND
Decreased systolic function is central to the pathogenesis of heart failure in millions of patients worldwide, but mechanism-related adverse effects restrict existing inotropic treatments.… (More)
CONTEXT
Ranolazine is a novel antianginal agent that reduces ischemia in patients with chronic angina but has not been studied in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS).
OBJECTIVE
To… (More)
CONTEXT
Many patients with chronic angina experience anginal episodes despite revascularization and antianginal medications. In a previous trial, antianginal monotherapy with ranolazine, a drug… (More)
BACKGROUND
Ranolazine is a novel antianginal agent that may reduce symptoms without affecting hemodynamics and has shown cardiac antiischemic effects in in vivo and in vitro models. In one study it… (More)
Modification of the cardiac rhythm by histamine has been appreciated almost since the compound's isolation from ergot by Barger and Dale in 1910. The major arrhythmogenic actions of histamine are an… (More)
1. Ranolazine shifts ATP production away from fatty acid oxidation toward glucose oxidation. 2. Because more oxygen is required to phosphorylate a given amount of ATP during fatty acid oxidation than… (More)
We assessed efficacy and safety of a new anti-ischemic agent, ranolazine, during a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study. In the qualifying phase, we withdrew at least 1… (More)
The present study assesses whether ranolazine increases left ventricular (LV) function without an increase in myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) and thus improves LV mechanical efficiency in dogs… (More)
