[Thiotriazoline in the Treatment of Stable Angina Pectoris of II-III Functional Class]
Abstract:
Trimetazidine is a metabolic agent of proven efficacy in improving myocardial ischemia and angina. A comparative international multicenter randomized trial, assessed anti-anginal anti ischemic efficacy and safety of Trimetazidine (60 mg/d) and Thiotriazoline (600 mg/d) in symptomatic patients with chronic ischemic heart disease receiving the first line therapy. The study assessed the efficacy of the two drugs on total exercise duration, time to 1-mm ST segment depression, the number of angina attacks and nitroglycerin tablets consumed amount. Both drugs have demonstrated clinical efficacy equal for all primary and secondary endpoints.

Antianginal Drugs: Nitrates and β-Blockers
Organic nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, play a pivotal role. Once metabolized, they liberate nitric oxide, a molecular marvel. Nitric oxide triggers guanylyl cyclase and augments cGMP production. This biochemical cascade orchestrates the relaxation of vascular smooth muscles, ushering in vasodilation and enhancing coronary blood flow....
