If Ranolazine works by blocking the late Na+ (slow) current, how is it that it results in the prolongation of AP and risk complication of torsades? I would think blockade of the late Na+ current would result in the shortening of the AP, similar to the effects of Class Ib Anti-arrhythmics. Ur inputs are highly appreciated!!
