Abstract:
: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, e.g. in the setting of acute myocardial infarction, nitroglycerin or isosorbide dinitrate can be given by the intravenous route for up to 24 h. Patients with acute myocardial infarction usually benefit from nitrate therapy if filling pressures are high and/or left ventricular function is compromised. Nitrate therapy can be considered safe if arterial blood pressure is maintained above 95 mm Hg. With these precautions nitrates can reduce infarct size and the incidence of complications as well as improve long-term prognosis. In the chronic treatment concern has risen with regard to possible nitrate tolerance. Thus, therapy schedules allowing for nitrate-poor phases are generally recommended. Therapy schedules with constant-rate delivery of drugs achieved with patches or intravenous administration of nitrates should be used with caution.
