Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To demonstrate an increase of near maximal hyperaemic myocardial blood flow (MBF ml/min/g) after treatment with ranolazine. Measurement of myocardial perfusion with 13N-ammonia and positron emission tomography; assessment of hyperaemic Myocardial Blood Flow (MBF) following i.v. dipyridamole (0.56 mg/Kg in 4 mins).;Secondary Objective: To demonstrate an increase of Coronary Flow Reserve (hyperaemic MBF /resting MBF = CFR). A decrease of baseline coronary resistance (Mean Arterial Pressure rest/ MBF rest) and of minimal (dipyridamole) coronary resistance (Mean arterial Pressure hyperemia/ MBFhyperemia);Primary end point(s): Hyperemic myocardial blood flow (ml/min/g) before and after treatment with ranolazine;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Fourteen days before titration and 120 days after active treatment with Ranolazine

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): increase of Coronary Flow Reserve (hyperaemic MBF /resting MBF = CFR). A decrease of baseline coronary resistance (Mean Arterial Pressure rest/ MBF rest) and of minimal (dipyridamole) coronary resistance (Mean arterial Pressure hyperemia/ MBFhyperemia);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Fourteen days before titration and 120 days after active treatment with Ranolazine
