Abstract:
Angina pectoris results from an insufficient flow of oxygen to the myocardia cells. It is not an unusual complication in the dental office, the most frequent factors that trigger angina are: -stress, -pain, -exercise. The treatment consists in providing oxygen and vasodilators. Hypertension is characterized by an increase in the diastolic arterial blood pressure over 120 mmHg and by other clinical manifestations. Stress, pain, and exercise are the most frequent factors responsible for hypertensive disease. Hypertensive disease can lead to various complications ranging from a headache to myocardial infarct or hemiplegia. Treatment consists of different types of vasodilators.

Antianginal Drugs: Nitrates and β-Blockers
Organic nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, play a pivotal role. Once metabolized, they liberate nitric oxide, a molecular marvel. Nitric oxide triggers guanylyl cyclase and augments cGMP production. This biochemical cascade orchestrates the relaxation of vascular smooth muscles, ushering in vasodilation and enhancing coronary blood flow. Administered...
