title: [Use of nitroglycerin in the treatment of patients with myocardial infarct].
abstract: The effect of the intravenous administration of nitroglycerin on the general course of myocardial infarction as well as on such syndromes as acute left ventricular insufficiency, progressive congestive cardiac failure and the recurring painful syndrome was studied. The assessment of the effect of the drug was carried out in relation to its capacity to limit the extension of myocardial infarction and regulate the blood supply to the organs. The data on the frequency and nature of side-effects following nitroglycerin administration are presented. The conclusion is drawn as to the advisability of the drug employment in patients in the acute period of myocardial infarction when it is indicated as well as on the necessity of predicting adverse hemodynamic response to nitroglycerin with the help of suggested diagnostic tests.
