There is an important role of coronary microcirculation in the clinical presentation and prognosis of patients who have typical chest pain despite normal epicardial coronary arteries (microvascular angina). Treatment of these patients is empirical because of the incomplete knowledge of its cause. Limited data has shown that ranolazine reduces angina and improves exercise performance in such patients with frequent angina.
