...Pompilio Faggiano; Cesare Rusconi; Giuseppe Ghizzoni It is a common opinion that nitrate therapy may have a harmful effect on cardiac output in patients with congestive heart failure when left ventricular filling presssure is markedly reduced. In this study, we evaluated, using hemodynamic...

...D.A. Halon; T. Rosenfeld; R. Hardoff; B.S. Lewis We compared the acute hemodynamic effects of captopril and nitrates in 11 patients with severe congestive heart failure and grade IV cardiac disability. Pressures were measured using a Swan-Ganz catheter system; cardiac output and stroke index were...

...Raffaele De Caterina Nitrates are the most widely prescribed drug category in ischemic heart disease, being able to prevent and to interrupt episodes of myocardial ischemia, alleviate anginal symptoms, exert favorable effects in acute myocardial infarction. Their vascular actions, on peripheral...

...L. Tavazzi The early administration of nitrates in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may lower myocardial oxygen demand and increase blood supply to the ischemic myocardium. Actually, nitrates are the drugs most largely used in AMI patients, but no definite proof of their clinical benefits had been...

...G. Tognoni GISSI 3 is an open randomized population trial to assess the comparative value of two different therapeutic strategies based on nitrates and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition respectively versus routine treatment in improving the short- and long-term outcome of patients with acute...

...Wolfgang Schneider; Wulf-Dirk Bussmann; Andreas Hartmann; Martin Kaltenbach Nitrates are drugs of first choice in patients with acute heart failure. Acute pulmonary edema can be successfully treated with single or repeated doses of sublingual nitroglycerin. In cases of prolonged acute heart failure...

The study population was composed...

...Stephen C Vlay; Peter F Cohn Nitrates are vasodilators of venous and arterial smooth muscle commonly prescribed both for angina and congestive heart failure. Primarily venodilators, nitrates also affect the systemic circulation if administered in sufficient dosage. In the coronary circulation...
