Conclusions • Chronic ischemic heart disease (IHD) is still a significant • clinical burden • IHD results from a number of mechanisms • To ensure optimal management of IHD on top of -blockers, it is essential to address the energetic origin of ischemia • Trimetazidine MR is an effective drug to use in combination with β-blockers to relieve angina effectively.
