Perspective: does ranolazine have potential for the treatment of atrial fibrillation?

Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia seen in clinical practice, and novel pharmacological approaches for treatment are sought. Ranolazine (Ranexa; N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-2-[4-(2-hydroxy-3-[2-methoxyphenoxy]propyl)piperazin-1-yl]acetamide) is used clinically for the treatment of angina pectoris. Evidence is reviewed from both pre-clinical and clinical studies, which suggests that ranolazine also exhibits antiarrhythmic activity with growing evidence for atrio-selectivity. Further work is required in order to explore more fully the potential of ranolazine in the treatment of atrial fibrillation. In particular, investigation of ranolazine actions against atrial fibrillation in animal models that incorporate atrial fibrillation-related remodeling and data from carefully controlled trials in human atrial fibrillation would be of value.[1]
