Abstract

The expanding applications of nitroglycerin and nitrate esters--in congestive heart failure, in the reduction of infarct size in myocardial infarction and in the long-term prophylaxis of angina--have enhanced the clinical importance of these drugs. This article reviews some of the significant recent investigations of the nitrates and makes specific recommendations regarding clinical use.
