Trimetazidine Therapy in Coronary Artery Disease: The Impact on Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, Endothelial Dysfunction, and Long-Term Prognosis.

Background: In coronary artery disease (CAD), reduction of perfusion in coronary arteries is followed by increases of oxidative stress and decreases of adenosine triphosphate reserve. In this condition, trimetazidine (TMZ), a metabolic anti-ischemic agent, seems to be an ideal therapeutic agent because it increases mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate production.
