In conclusion, in this preliminary hypothesis-driven study, 6-week ranolazine therapy was shown to decrease the area of dyskinetic myocardium in patients with ACS by trend. Global strain rate measurement using speckle-tracking echocardiography can be applied measuring those effects and is, compared to other techniques, safe and harmless. Our data provide a sound basis for a follow-up trial.
