  • Title: The transdermal administration of nitrates: an overview.
    Author: Demma FJ, Wilson RR.
    Journal: Angiology; 1983 Jan; 34(1):1-10. PubMed ID: 6401950.
    Abstract:
    Nitroglycerin has been the mainstay of the medical management of angina pectoris for over 100 years. The long-held clinical impression of the efficacy of nitroglycerin has now been clearly documented in controlled clinical trials designed to evaluate objective response to antianginal agents. Advances in scientific methodology and improved experimental design have contributed to continuing interest in nitrates. Newer uses of nitroglycerin and other nitrates in congestive heart failure and acute myocardial infarction are the result of a developing understanding of the pharmacology of nitrates.
