May limit sodium nitroprusside utility in CHF/diabetes; leaves open MAP-neutral NO donors for microvascular O2.
Does local sodium nitrite superfusion improve microvascular oxygen pressure in healthy rats without decreasing mean arterial pressure?
Direct application of sodium nitrite enhances microvascular oxygen pressure in healthy skeletal muscle without inducing systemic hypotension, suggesting potential utility for ischemic conditions.
Colburn et al. (2016) studied this question.
