Abstract:
:We report a patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy who was treated with a continuous high dose infusion of intravenous nitroglycerin for six months while awaiting cardiac transplantation. Surprisingly, methemoglobinemia did not develop and nitroglycerin continued to be clinically effective in relieving angina during the six-month period. We believe this to be the first reported instance of the safe use of such prolonged infusion of intravenous nitroglycerin.

CHEST文献大全abstract:STUDY OBJECTIVES:The Fas-Fas ligand (FasL) pathway is a representative system of apoptosis-signaling receptor molecules. We previously described that this pathway may play an important role in the pathogenesis of fibrosing lung diseases. In this study, we hypothesized that soluble form of Fas (sFas) and FasL (sFasL) ma...
