Hypothesis-generating for nitroglycerin in acute HF microcirculation; randomized trials needed before clinical adoption.
Does low-dose intravenous nitroglycerin improve microcirculatory perfusion in hospitalized patients with acute heart failure?
Low-dose intravenous nitroglycerin significantly improves sublingual microvascular perfusion and reduces cardiac filling pressures in patients with acute heart failure.
