Study Notes

Nitrates in Angina Pectoris

Mechanism of action: Nitrates cause systemic vasodilation, leading to a decrease in preload and afterload. This reduces the workload of the heart, allowing for improved blood flow to the heart muscle.
Duration of action: Nitrates are available in various formulations, with varying durations of action. Transdermal patches have the longest duration of action, lasting for 12-24 hours.
Adverse reactions: Commonly observed adverse reactions include headaches, dizziness, hypotension, and flushing. In rare cases, more serious reactions such as methemoglobinemia can occur.
Effect on coronary blood flow: While nitrates cause systemic vasodilation, they also cause preferential vasodilation of coronary arteries, leading to an increase in coronary blood flow.
Sublingual (SL) tablet preparation: The SL tablet preparation of nitrates is employed in emergencies associated with acute anginal episodes.
