Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Area of ischemic myocardium/cm² (longitudinal strain, radial/circumferential strain) after 42 days treatment with Ranolazine;Secondary Objective: - Level of cardiac markers (NT-pro-BNP, Troponine, CK, Copeptin) after 42 days treatment with Ranolazine - Incidence of cardiac complications (i.e. ventricular tachycardia, re-infarction, rehospitalisation for revascularization) ;Primary end point(s): Area of ischemic myocardium/cm² (longitudinal strain, radial/circumferential strain) after 42 days treatment with Ranolazine;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 42 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): • Incidence of cardiac complications (i.e. ventricular tachycardia, re-infarction, rehospitalisation for revascularization) after 42 days treatment ofacutmyocardial ischemia with Ranolazine • Level of cardiac markers (NT-pro-BNP, Troponine, CK, Copeptin) after 42 days treatment with Ranolazine ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 42 | — |
