Nitrates are effective for the therapy of acute coronary syndromes, including acute
myocardial infarction. Their application in acute infarction has established that vasodilators …

In patients with acute myocardial infarction, intravenous nitroglycerin lowers left ventricular
filling pressure and systemic vascular resistance. At lower infusion rates (< 50 μg/min) …

The hypothesis that nitrates might effectively limit left ventricular remodeling and improve
function after acute myocardial infarction has been tested in experimental and clinical …

Apart from their ability to relieve myocardial ischemia, nitrates have an important role to play
on preservation of left ventricular (LV) geometry and function after acute myocardial …

BACKGROUND: In the large-scale trial, Gruppo Italiano per lo Studio della Sopravvivenza
nell'Infarto Miocardico-3 (GISSI-3), patients receiving the combination of lisinopril and …

Left ventricular remodeling is the major mechanism leading to cardiac enlargement, failure,
and death after myocardial infarction. It is associated with early disruption of collagen matrix …

OBJECTIVE--To assess the possible benefits of intravenous isosorbide dinitrate in acute
myocardial infarction and oral isosorbide mononitrate in subacute myocardial infarction …

BACKGROUND Prolonged nitrate therapy during healing between 2 days and 6 weeks after
anterior myocardial infarction has the potential for limiting further left ventricular remodeling …

Background Nitrates dilate coronary arteries, ameliorate myocardial ischemia, minimize left
ventricular remodeling, and reduce mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction …

In addition to well-established roles in the management of stable angina, unstable angina
and heart failure, nitrates are widely used in the management of acute infarction and the …
