Repeated use of nitroglycerin results in a loss of its vasodilatory efficacy which limits its clinical use for the treatment of angina pectoris. This tolerance phenomenon is a defining characteristic of all compounds classified as nitrodilators, which includes NTG as well as S-nitrosothiols and dinitrosyl iron complexes. These compounds vasodilate via activation of soluble guanylate cyclase, although they do not release requisite amounts of free nitric oxide (NO) and some do not even cross the plasma membrane.

Background: Coronary Artery Spasm (CAS) often presents in the epicardial coronary arteries. The anterior septal branch is distributed within the myocardium, and occurrences of spasms are rare. Currently, there is no available literature on this topic, and the onset of symptoms remains elusive, potentially leading to misdiagnosis.

Background: Chronic migraine (CM) is a serious neurological disorder. Central sensitization is one of the important pathophysiological mechanisms underlying CM, and microglia-induced neuroinflammation conduces to central sensitization. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is presented solely in microglia residing within the central nervous system and plays a key role in neuroinflammation.

Objectives: Administration of sublingual glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) prior to resting radiotracer injection during myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) has been advocated to aid detection of viable myocardium and increase the extent of reversible perfusion defects. However, GTN is also known to reduce resting left ventricular volume and could thus increase the transient ischaemic dilation (TID) ratio, independently of severe or extensive coronary artery disease. We aimed to determine if GTN administration causes an increase in the TID ratio.
