title: [The effects of nitroglycerin on refractory congestive heart failure by intravenous infusion].
abstract: Noninvasive hemodynamic and clinical studies were carried out in 24 patients with congestive heart failure refractory to digitalis, diuretics and vasodilators. Nitroglycerin was given by intravenous infusion for 5-7 days. The results showed that the symptoms, signs and hemodynamic parameters were markedly improved. The overall clinical effective rate was 96% and no serious side effect was noted.
