title: Buccal nitroglycerin in congestive cardiac failure: a multicentre study.
abstract: One-hundred-and-ninety-two elderly patients with symptoms of congestive cardiac failure, despite therapy with diuretics and inotropic agents, received buccal nitroglycerin as additional medication. They were assessed for up to 6 months. Improvements in symptoms and functional classification were apparent within 14 days, and were maintained for the duration of the study.
