[The peculiarties of nitric oxide synthesis in patients after coronary bypass surgery]
Abstract:
Nitric oxide (NO) participates in many physiological processes including those taking place in the cardiovascular system. The peculiarities of NO synthesis in patients after coronary bypass surgery were studied. The systems of NO generation responded in different ways. Changes in the levels of end-products of NO metabolism may be used as an additional prognostic criterion of the course of the postoperative period. The study found a direct correlation between the levels of end-products of NO metabolism and left ventricular ejection fraction as well as a reverse correlation between the level of end-products of NO metabolism and atherogenic lipids.

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...
