Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is often accompanied by increased myofilament Ca(2+) sensitivity and diastolic dysfunction. Recent findings indicate increased late Na(+) current density in human HCM cardiomyocytes. Since ranolazine has the potential to decrease myofilament Ca(2+) sensitivity and late Na(+) current, we investigated its effects in an Mybpc3-targeted knock-in (KI) mouse model of HCM.
