title: The use of invasive techniques to study circulatory effects of nitrates.
abstract: The hemodynamic effects of NTG are easily studied with the use of invasive techniques. This article presents and discusses the most commonly used parameters obtained from cardiac catheterization and angiography to describe the effects of nitrates on the central circulation and the left ventricular function.
