Nitroglycerin
Donation of nitric oxide is the mechanism by which nitroglycerin dilates veins and arteries, relieving the chest pain that arises when myocardial blood supply falls short of demand. Venodilation reduces preload and therefore the work the heart must perform, which relieves ischaemic pain rather than removing the obstruction causing it. Onset is rapid and the effect brief: the plasma half-life is measured in one to four minutes, which is why the drug suits acute relief. Sildenafil is recorded as a major interaction, since both act on the same cyclic GMP pathway and combined use risks profound hypotension. The compound is C3H5N3O9, about 227.1 g/mol.
A fast-acting medication that widens blood vessels to quickly relieve chest pain caused by insufficient blood supply to the heart.
