    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Pharmacology
    • Clinical Therapeutics

    Background:

    • Historically, oral nitrates were doubted due to hepatic metabolism concerns.
    • Recent understanding confirms oral nitrates achieve therapeutic levels and clinical effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical utility and formulations of nitroglycerin and long-acting nitrates.
    • To highlight their role in managing ischemic heart conditions and heart failure.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current clinical practice and available nitrate formulations.
    • Discussion of pharmacokinetics and therapeutic applications.

    Main Results:

    • Oral nitrates are effective and widely used for stable/unstable angina and myocardial infarction complications.
    • Nitrates are crucial for preload reduction in heart failure therapy.
    • Multiple delivery systems (oral, sublingual, transdermal, buccal, IV) provide versatile treatment options.

    Conclusions:

    • Nitroglycerin and long-acting nitrates are valuable, practical therapies for various cardiovascular conditions.
    • The availability of diverse formulations enhances clinical applicability.
    • Intravenous nitroglycerin is increasingly important in intensive care settings.
