nitroglycerin and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

nitroglycerin has been researched along with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in 22 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.

( Hess, OM; Jiang, Z; Kaufmann, PA; Mandinov, L; Matter, CM; Vassalli, G, 1999)

"A pig model of myocardial hibernation of 24 hours to 7 days was created through severe left anterior descending coronary artery stenosis with coronary flow reductions of approximately 40%, producing severe regional left ventricular dysfunction but no infarction in seven pigs."1.30Nitroglycerin enhances the ability of dobutamine stress echocardiography to detect hibernating myocardium. ( Chen, C; Chen, L; Gillam, L; Ma, L; Waters, DD, 1997)
"Because left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is also associated with subendocardial hypoperfusion during exercise, this study tested the hypothesis that alterations of NO availability can similarly influence subendocardial blood flow in the hypertrophied heart."1.30Effect of NO on transmural distribution of blood flow in hypertrophied left ventricle during exercise. ( Bache, RJ; Duncker, DJ; Ishibashi, Y; Traverse, JH, 1999)
