Effect of nifedipine on cerebral saturation parameters.

The effect of 10 mg nifedipine on cerebral oxygenation was studied in healthy individuals. The duration of investigation was 30 min or 3 h. Nifedipine appreciably increased cerebral oxygenation (by 5.

[The effectiveness of intravenous form of Nitro Mac in patients with acute left ventricular failure and functional class III angina].

Efficacy of intravenous drop Nitro Mac (alcoholic solution of nitroglycerin) in acute left ventricular failure and angina of functional class III was investigated in 18 patients aged 42-68 years. 1 ml Nitro Mac solution was diluted in 100 ml isotonic solution once a day (in severe condition twice a day) for 6 days. Nitro Mac relieved anginal attack on infusion minute 3-5 and anginal pain on minute 2.

[Comparative evaluation of the efficacy of nitrosorbide and nitroglycerin in acute myocardial infarct patients].

Intravenous isosorbide dinitrate and nitroglycerin administered within early hours of myocardial infarction have a marked antianginal effect, stabilize the size of necrotic focus and promptly control acute left-ventricular insufficiency. Unlike nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate has a more lasting action and does not affect heart rate and arterial blood pressure. It can therefore be used more extensively in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
