Circulation Publishes MERLIN TIMI-36 Data Showing Safety and Anti-Arrhythmic Effects of Ranexa(R)

-Data also presented today at European Society of Cardiology Congress

2007--

PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CV Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVTX) announced today that data published in Circulation and presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2007 in Vienna, Austria shows that Ranexa(R) (ranolazine extended-release tablets) reduced both ventricular and atrial arrhythmias in patients receiving Ranexa compared to placebo in the MERLIN TIMI-36 study.

Patients receiving Ranexa had a 37 percent reduction in their relative risk of ventricular tachycardia lasting eight beats or more (p<0.001) and there were fewer episodes of sudden cardiac death observed in patients taking ranolazine (56) than in patients taking placebo (65).

As part of the MERLIN TIMI-36 safety assessment, Holter monitors recorded continuous ECG recordings for the first seven days after patients were admitted to the study with an episode of non-ST elevation myocardial infarction or unstable angina. Patients are typically especially susceptible to arrhythmic events during the first seven days following a heart attack. The more than 1,000,000 hours of Holter monitor data from 6,351 study participants are believed to represent the largest Holter monitor database ever collected in a clinical trial.

"The significant reductions in ventricular arrhythmias observed in ranolazine patients in the MERLIN TIMI-36 study provide important and reassuring data regarding the long-term safety of ranolazine and suggest that ranolazine could have potential as a new anti-arrhythmic agent in treating ventricular arrhythmias," said Benjamin Scirica, a cardiologist at Brigham and Women
