Publisher's Synopsis
All aspects of nitrate therapy, including conventional and new formulations and delivery systems, are covered in this book. For each drug the formulation, mechanism 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 updated, based not only on the world literature but also on the most recent conference presentations, and provides the reader with thorough and practice-oriented coverage.
