Abstract:
Honeysuckle is a conventional Chinese medicine with several therapeutic applications. With the advancement of modern scientific technologies, Honeysuckle's pharmacological effects and medicinal properties have been investigated more thoroughly. Studies demonstrate that the bioactive compounds in Honeysuckle possess anti-inflammatory effects via several mechanisms, protecting the cardiovascular system. This article provides a reference for the clinical use of Honeysuckle by reviewing research on the therapeutic impact of Honeysuckle and its active constituents on cardiovascular diseases, such as coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CHD), myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), hypertension, arrhythmia, and heart failure, through the inhibition of inflammatory responses.

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....
