What are the benefits of ranolazine use in patients with chronic angina?
Ranolazine is a medication used to treat chronic angina. It has been shown to reduce angina frequency and improve exercise tolerance in patients with severe chronic angina. It also improves long-term survival and has anti-ischemic effects. Furthermore, ranolazine has been shown to reduce recurrent cardiovascular events in patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes and may reduce infarct size in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction without shock. In addition, it may be used to support myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock. However, further research is needed to assess the long-term effects of ranolazine use.
