Nitrates as a Treatment of Acute Heart Failure.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this article is to review the clinical efficacy and safety of nitrates in acute heart failure (AHF) by examining various trials on nitrates in AHF. Management of AHF can be challenging due to the lack of objective clinical evidence guiding optimal management. There have been many articles suggesting that, despite a benefit, nitrates are underused in clinical practice. Nitrates, when appropriately dosed, have a favourable effect on symptoms, blood pressure, intubation rates, mortality and other parameters.
