Long-Acting Nitrates

A
  • when beta blockers are contraindicated or cause unacceptable side effects or, in combination with beta blockers, for relief of symptoms when initial treatment with beta blockers is unsuccessful

  • NO MORTALITY BENEFIT
109
Q

Ranolazine

A
  • Inhibitor of late sodium ion channels -> prevent influx of Ca into the cells
