The late Na current is of pathophysiological importance for the heart. Ranolazine is an innovative anti-ischemic and antianginal agent that inhibits the late Na current, thereby reducing the Na-dependent Ca-overload, which improves diastolic tone and oxygen handling during myocardial ischemia. In addition, ranolazine seems to exert beneficial effects on diastolic cardiac function. Moreover, the...
BACKGROUND Current therapies are ineffective in preventing the development of cardiac phenotype in young carriers of mutations associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Ranolazine, a late Na+ current blocker, reduced the electromechanical dysfunction of human HCM myocardium in vitro. METHODS AND RESULTS To test whether long-term treatment prevents cardiomyopathy in vivo, transgenic m...
BACKGROUND We examined whether intracoronary or intrafemoral administration of ranolazine produces local vasodilation. METHODS AND RESULTS Effects of intra-arterial ranolazine on coronary and femoral artery vasodilation and systemic hemodynamic function were studied in anesthetized pigs (n=27). Ranolazine, nitroglycerin, or saline (control) was injected into the left anterior descending (LAD)...
AIMS Amiodarone is used commonly for pharmacological cardioversion of atrial fibrillation (AF), but it is limited by moderate efficacy and delayed action. Ranolazine and amiodarone are markedly synergistic in suppressing experimental AF in vitro, yet the clinical efficacy of ranolazine combined with amiodarone for AF conversion has only undergone minimal investigation. This prospective, single-...
Palmitoyl-L-carnitine (PC), an ischemic metabolite, causes cellular Na(+) and Ca(2+) overload and cardiac dysfunction. This study determined whether ranolazine [(+/-)-1-piperazineacetamide, N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-4-[2-hydroxy-3-(2-methoxyphenoxy)propyl]-] attenuates PC-induced Na(+) current and ventricular contractile dysfunction of the isolated heart. PC (4 microM, 30 min) increased late Na(+)...
Synergistic effect of the combination of ranolazine and dronedarone to suppress atrial fibrillation.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a combination of dronedarone and ranolazine in suppression of atrial fibrillation (AF). BACKGROUND Safe and effective pharmacological management of AF remains one of the greatest unmet medical needs. METHODS The electrophysiological effects of dronedarone (10 μmol/l) and a relatively low concentration of ranolazine (5 μmo...
ranolazine is a new antianginal drug that is postulated to act through blocking of cardiac late sodium channels and improvement in cardiac blood flow. the present study has been carried out to investigate its possible effect on microcirculation of normal and diabetic rats’ cardiac muscle. methods: normal and diabetic rats were anesthetized. the chest was opened and a surface laser doppler flowm...
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) requires arrhythmogenic changes in atrial ion channels/receptors and usually altered atrial structure. AF is commonly treated with antiarrhythmic drugs; the most effective block many ion channels/receptors. Modest efficacy, intolerance, and safety concerns limit current antiarrhythmic drugs. We hypothesized that combining agents with multiple anti-AF mechanis...
Trimetazidine acts as an effective antianginal clinical agent by modulating cardiac energy metabolism. Recent published data support the hypothesis that trimetazidine selectively inhibits long-chain 3-ketoacyl CoA thiolase (LC 3-KAT), thereby reducing fatty acid oxidation resulting in clinical benefit. The aim of this study was to assess whether trimetazidine and ranolazine, which may also act ...
The antianginal drug ranolazine, which combines inhibitory actions on rapid and sustained sodium currents with inhibition of the hERG/IKr potassium channel, shows promise as an antiarrhythmic agent. This study investigated the structural basis of hERG block by ranolazine, with lidocaine used as a low potency, structurally similar comparator. Recordings of hERG current (IhERG) were made from cel...
