What is the efficacy of trimetazidine in treating stable angina?
A meta-analysis of randomized, double-blind, controlled trials found that trimetazidine was effective in treating stable angina, with good tolerability. The Cochrane Database System Review also concluded that trimetazidine is effective for stable angina. Additionally, the Multicenter Study of Enhanced External Counterpulsation found that trimetazidine had a positive effect on exercise-induced myocardial ischemia and anginal episodes. Therefore, trimetazidine is a viable treatment option for stable angina.
