>> Well it's still not first line <<

Sorry.... been very busy.

Peter.... I read the new label again, and believe that it is first line. First line with some very nice commentary to boot. IMO, this all evolves from Lange's battle to demo that BENEFICIAL elevations of QTc interval can exist.

from the press release..... According to the revised labeling, Ranexa is indicated for the treatment of chronic angina and may be used alone or in combination with traditional therapies for chronic angina, such as beta blockers, calcium channel blockers and nitrates, and common cardio-protective treatments for cardiovascular disease such as anti-platelet therapy, lipid-lowering therapy, ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers.

from the label...... Ranexa is indicated for the treatment of chronic angina.

I'm not saying that you're wrong about which drugs will be selected first by physicians. But from everything that I've seen? I'd request Ranexa, if I were a new onset patient.
