Overview

All aspects of nitrate therapy, including conventional and new formulations and delivery systems are covered in this book. For each drug and formulation, mechanisms of action, indications, effects, adverse reactions and special problems are systematically described. The use of nitrates in specific population groups, such as infants, children, and the elderly, is dealt with separately. The book is up-dated, based not only on world literature but also on the most recent conference presentations, and provides the reader with thorough and practice-orientated coverage.
