1 Benefits of adding a energetic agent to  -blockers to achieve optimal reduction of angina. Review of the main studies

2 Is coronary obstruction the only player in ischemic heart disease? Sambuceti G. Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2005;32:385-388.

3 Is coronary obstruction the only player in ischemic heart disease? Cheng VY, et al. Circulation. 2011;124:2423-2432.

4 Marzilli M, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2012;60:951-956. Myocardial ischemia is multifactorial

5 Marzilli M, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2012;60:951–6. Ischemia is an energy deficiency

6 Increased energy in the ischemic heart Fragasso G, et al. Eur Heart J. 2006;27:942-948.

7 Cellular energy balance Act on both sides of the cellular energy balance To protect the cells from ischemia, the energy supply needs to remain greater than the energy demand.

8 Time to 1-mm ST depression Trimetazidine Placebo Time to onset of angina Angina attacks/week (n)Nitrate use / week (n) n=426 Stable angina patients All on metoprolol (50 mg/day) Szwed H, et al. TRIMPOL II Eur Heart J. 2001;22:2367-2374.

9 Michaelides AP, et al. Clin Drug Invest. 1997;13:8-14. n=53 Stable angina patients uncontrolled with Propranolol 40 mg/day

10 Proven antianginal efficacy with  -blockers Nesukay E, et al. ESC 2013. Abstract 86728.

11 Conclusions Chronic ischemic heart disease (IHD) is still a significant clinical burden IHD results from a number of mechanisms To ensure optimal management of IHD on top of  -blockers, it is essential to address the energetic origin of ischemia Trimetazidine MR is an effective drug to use in combination with β-blockers to relieve angina effectively.
