Angina is a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. Angina is a symptom of coronary artery disease.

 

Angina, also called angina pectoris, is often described as squeezing, pressure, heaviness, tightness or pain in your chest. Some people with angina symptoms say angina feels like something is squeezing their chest or a heavy weight lying on their chest. Angina may be a new pain that needs to be checked by a doctor, or recurring pain that goes away with treatment. Although angina is relatively common, it can still be hard to distinguish from other types of chest pain, such as the discomfort of indigestion.

Mechanism of Action

Trimetazidine inhibits β-oxidation of fatty acids by blocking long-chain 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase, thereby enhancing glucose oxidation. By preserving energy metabolism in cells exposed to ischaemia or hypoxia, it prevents decrease in intracellular ATP levels and ensures proper functioning of ionic pumps and transmembrane Na-K flow.

 

Trimetazidine is a cellular acting anti-ischaemic agent. It has 3 main properties by which it acts as a cytoprotective agent. It inhibits the anaerobic glycolysis and fatty acid metabolism, thus allowing only aerobic glycolysis. This action helps to restore the energy balance in the cell. It inhibits acidosis and free radical accumulation in the cell. All these action help the cell to restore the normal ionic and metabolic balance.
