Study summary

The investigators will test if upfront dosing of Ranolazine can reduce myocardial biomarker release (CK-MB, Troponin) post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Read the detailed description

Ranolazine has been demonstrated to decrease angina, ischemia on perfusion imaging, improve diastolic function, and cardiac metabolism. Furthermore it has been associated with reduced cardiac arrhythmias, including non-sustained ventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation. It has not been studied as an acute cardioprotective agent in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

We hypothesize that upfront administration of Ranolazine could decrease the myocardial injury associated with PCI due to all the factors listed above (i.e. precondition the myocardium). We plan to screen all patients scheduled for an elective coronary angiogram. Those who meet criteria and consent will be randomized to either receive Ranolazine or placebo twice a day for 3 days leading up to the PCI.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Troponin

    Troponin labs will be drawn 8-10 hrs after PCI or at discharge whichever comes first

    Time frame: 8-10 hrs post PCI

  2. CK-MB

    CK-MB labs will be drawn 8-10 hrs after PCI or at discharge whichever comes first

    Time frame: 8-10 hrs post PCI

Secondary outcomes

  1. TIMI Flow Rate (Grade)

    This TIMI classification was developed by the TIMI (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction) study group to semiquantitatively assess coronary artery perfusion beyond point of occlusion on coronary angiography.\* TIMI Grade \[Description\] TIMI 0 - no perfusion \[no antegrade flow beyond the point of occlusion\] TIMI 1 - penetration without perfusion \[faint antegrade coronary flow beyond the occlusion with incomplete filling of the distal coronary bed\] TIMI 2 - partial perfusion \[delayed or sluggish antegrade flow with complete filling of the distal territory\] TIMI 3 - complete perfusion \[normal flow with complete filling of the distal territory\] \*(see http://radclass.mudr.org/content/timi-grade-flow-grading-coronary-blood-flow-during-coronary-angiography) TIMI 0 is the least favorable grade. TIMI 3 is the most favorable grade.

    Time frame: TIMI Flow Rate (Grade) is assessed immediately after an interventional reperfusion attempt during a PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) procedure.

  2. Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation, Ventricular Tachycardia, or Ventricular Fibrillation in Coronary Cath Lab

    Abnormal heart activity

    Time frame: During the PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) procedure - starting at timepoint of guidewire insertion into the access artery until removal of guidewire

  3. Incidence of Non-sustained Ventricular Tachycardia or Atrial Fibrillation Post PCI

    Time frame: Following completion of PCI through hospital discharge

  4. Left Ventricular End Diastolic Pressure (LVEDP)

    Time frame: During the PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) procedure - starting at timepoint of guidewire insertion into the access artery until removal of guidewire

  5. Death, Myocardial Infarction (Biomarker Greater Than 2x Normal), CHF, Cardiac Arrest

    Time frame: At discharge or within 1 days, whichever comes first

  6. Death, MI, Revascularization, CHF

    Time frame: 1-4 weeks post PCI

  7. Successful PCI

    For the purposes of this study, a successful PCI is considered one where no additional coronary interventions were required within 24 hours after the initial PCI.

    Time frame: At discharge or within 1 days, whichever comes first
