Study summaries showing the effects of ranolazine on diastolic functions and repolarization parameters.
| Author | Year | Aim | Treatment modality | Number of patients | Trial parameters | Results |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maier et al. (24) | 2013 | Diastolic functions in patients with HfpEF Inclusion criteria were EF ≥45% |
Treatment consisted of intravenous infusion for 24 h | Patients were randomized to ranolazine (n: 12) and placebo (n: 8). | E/e′ ratio Repolarization measures as QT Interval in ECG |
Echocardiographic diastolic parameters were not changed significantly. Non-significant QT interval increase was seen in ranolazine group. |
| Figueredo et al. (2) | 2011 | Improvement In left ventricular systolic and diastolic performance in patients with stable angina | Initial treatment was 500 mg bid. After 1 week dose increased to 1,000 mg bid. The evaluation was. Done minimum after 30 days. | 22 patients without control group. | Mitral valve inflow velocities, tissue Doppler velocities, mitral annular diastolic velocities, E′/A′ ratio, E/E′ ratio, isovolumic contraction and relaxation times, ejection time and myocardial performance index | DT, IVCT, IVRT, ET and MPI were improved on ranolazine therapy. |
| Akcay et al. (22) | 2021 | Effects On ECG repolarization parameters | Patients used 750 mg or 1,000 mg doses. No significant difference was observed between the groups. | 175 patients 90 of the m received ranolazine 85 of them was in control group. |
Tp-e, QT, QTc intervals, Tp-e/QT, and Tp-e/QTc ratios | Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT, Tp-e/QTc and PWD were significantly lower in the ranolazine group. |
| Babalis et.al (18) | 2014 | Effects Of ranolazine on left ventricular diastolic function in chronic coronart disease | Patients in ranolazine group used 500 mg bid ranolazine for 3 months. | 40 pts; 20 in control group, 20 in ranolazine group | Mitral E velocity, mitral A velocity, E/A ratio, mitral anular e′ and a′ velocities, E/e′ ratio, DT, IVRT | Mitral E velocity, mitral A velocity, E/A ratio, e′, a′, E/e′, DT and IVRT significantly improved on ranolazine group. |
