Microvascular Coronary Disease In Women: Impact Of Ranolazine

Summary

1. To evaluate the impact of ranolazine extended-release tablets in women with subendocardial ischemia due to microvascular endothelial dysfunction on myocardial ischemia (Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) extent, severity. 2. To evaluate the impact of ranolazine extended-release tablets in women with subendocardial ischemia due to microvascular endothelial dysfunction on the outcomes of angina (Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ), WISE angina frequency, Duke Activity Status Inventory(DASI) and SF-36).
