KnowraNitroglycerinLinked fromLinked fromThe 12 pages that link to Nitroglycerin, each with the reason it gives.All 12Broader topic 3Related 3Compared with 6Nitric oxideRelated: Its vascular effects helped establish the therapeutic importance of NO signaling.Nitric acidRelated: Nitric acid is used to nitrate glycerol during nitroglycerin manufacture.GlycerolBroader topic: Nitrating glycerol produces this compound, whose uses contrast sharply with glycerol’s mild everyday roles.VasodilationBroader topic: Its vessel-dilating effect can relieve angina by reducing cardiac workload.First-pass effectBroader topic: Its strong first-pass metabolism makes sublingual delivery useful for rapid systemic action.Angina pectorisRelated: Short-acting nitroglycerin is commonly used to treat an angina episode.Nitric oxide synthaseCompared with: It bypasses nitric oxide synthase while engaging downstream vascular signaling.SildenafilCompared with: Combining it with sildenafil can cause a dangerous fall in blood pressure.NifedipineCompared with: It relieves angina mainly through venous dilation, unlike nifedipine’s prominent arterial dilation.Nitrogen triiodideCompared with: It is another sensitive explosive, but its molecular structure and uses differ substantially.Amyl nitriteCompared with: Its medical formulation became the more practical rapid nitrate treatment compared with amyl nitrite.Pentaerythritol tetranitrateCompared with: Like PETN, it has both explosive and cardiovascular uses, but differs in handling and clinical use.
