ABSTRACT
Ranolazine is a relatively new drug having effects on cardiac metabolic pathways and it is known to improve cardiac functions by favourably inhibiting fatty acid oxidation. Ranolazine inhibits free fatty acid oxidation and improves glucose metabolism in the heart. The mechanism of action is not fully known. It is thought that this drug acts via selective inhibition of the late inward sodium current (INa) in cardiac muscle cells. A unique feature of ranolazine is that it does not have any effects on hemodynamic parameters.
