2 ACC/AHA Chronic Angina Guidelines: Basic Treatment / Education The initial treatment of the patient should include all elements: A. Aspirin and Antianginal therapy B. Beta blocker and Blood pressure C. Cigarette smoking and Cholesterol D. Diet and Diabetes E. Education and Exercise Gibbons RJ, et al. ACC/AHA 2002 Guideline Update for the Management of Patients with Chronic Stable Angina.

7 EUROPEAN SOCIETY OF CARDIOLOGY GUIDELINES MANAGEMENT OF STABLE ANGINA PECTORIS Beta-blockers are effective in decreasing symtoms, increasing exercise tollerance and reducing nitrates consumption. Beta-blockers should be also recommended in all patients with previous MI and/or LV dysfunction CLASS I EVIDENCE A

8 ACC/AHA Chronic Angina Guidelines The goal of successful treatment the goal of treatment should be complete, or nearly complete, elimination of anginal chest pain and return to normal activities and a functional capacity of CCS class I angina with minimal side effects of therapy. Gibbons RJ et al, ACC/AHA 2002 Guideline Update for the Management of Patients with Chronic Stable Angina

9 Angina Symptoms Predict Total Mortality in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease Survival according to physical limition due to angina (SAQ score) - Prospective VA study 1.0 -> physical limitation due to angina, > mortality Mild limitation: 27% (HR %CI ) Moderate limitation: 61% (HR %CI ) Greatest limitation: 255% (HR %CI ) - Greater symptoms of physical limitation due to angina were strongly predictive of poor survival Mozaffarian D. et al, Am Heart J. 2003; 146: p < for log-rank test for equality of survivor function Years

11 EUROPEAN SOCIETY OF CARDIOLOGY GUIDELINES MANAGEMENT OF STABLE ANGINA PECTORIS PCI may be recommended for patients with stable angina who do not respond adequately to medical therapy or who wishes to remain physically active regardless of age and have significant coronary artery stenosis that are suitable with high likelihood of success CLASS I EVIDENCE C

14 EUROPEAN SOCIETY OF CARDIOLOGY GUIDELINES MANAGEMENT OF STABLE ANGINA PECTORIS PCI may be considered for asymptomatic of mildly simptomatic patients in the category of high-risk ischemia and severe anatomic CAD if there is a high likelihood of success and a low risk of morbidity and mortality CLASS IIA EVIDENCE B

15 Stable CAD PCI vs Conservative Medical Management Meta-analysis of 11 randomized trials; N = 2,950 Favors PCI Favors Medical Management Death Cardiac death or MI Nonfatal MI CABG Katritsis DG et al. Circulation. 2005;111: PCI Risk ratio (95% Cl) P

36 Unique Therapeutic and Pharmacology of Ranexa Ranexa (Ranolazine) has anti-ischemic and antianginal effects with minimal or no changes in heart rate and arterial blood pressure. Ranexa does not a) slow heart rate (No bradycardia) b) decrease contractility (No depression of LV function) c) increase coronary or peripheral flow: not a vasodilator (No hypotension) d) slow AV nodal conduction (No PR prolongation) 36 Therapeutic concentrations are ~750-4,000 ng/ml (~2 to 8 µm)
