nitroglycerin and Hospital-Acquired Condition

nitroglycerin has been researched along with Hospital-Acquired Condition in 4 studies

Nitroglycerin: A volatile vasodilator which relieves ANGINA PECTORIS by stimulating GUANYLATE CYCLASE and lowering cytosolic calcium. It is also sometimes used for TOCOLYSIS and explosives.
nitroglycerol : A nitrate ester that is glycerol in which nitro group(s) replace the hydrogen(s) attached to one or more of the hydroxy groups.
nitroglycerin : A nitroglycerol that is glycerol in which the hydrogen atoms of all three hydroxy groups are replaced by nitro groups. It acts as a prodrug, releasing nitric oxide to open blood vessels and so alleviate heart pain.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"This case report highlights the importance of preload in cardiac tamponade, as cardiac arrest with pulseless electrical activity was unintentionally induced after sublingual administration of nitroglycerin in an 83-year-old woman with unrecognised haemopericardium."3.91[Iatrogenic clinically cardiac arrest after administration of nitroglycerin].
