This activity focuses on ranolazine, an FDA-approved medication for the management of chronic angina associated with ischemic heart disease. Aimed at optimizing the treatment of stable angina, the primary objective is to alleviate ischemic symptoms, minimize their occurrence, and reduce the risk of myocardial infarction and mortality. In conjunction with standard therapies such as aspirin, P2Y12 inhibitors, ACEIs, angiotensin receptor blockers, statins, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and nitrates, ranolazine serves as an adjunct therapy, enriching the overall strategy for angina management.This educational activity also explores the limited data surrounding ranolazine’s potential in addressing specific arrhythmias, particularly ventricular tachycardia. The program thoroughly explores ranolazine, encompassing its indications, mechanism of action, administration modalities, notable adverse effects, contraindications, and monitoring protocols. This knowledge equips healthcare providers to guide patient therapy skillfully, seamlessly incorporating ranolazine as a component within defined clinical contexts and fostering collaborative practices within the healthcare team.
