Why the study?
Does sodium nitroprusside alter regional vascular capacitance in patients with severe congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension?
Does sodium nitroprusside alter regional vascular capacitance in patients with severe congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension?
Sodium nitroprusside reduces venous pressure in severe heart failure by actively relaxing intestinal and pulmonary capacitance vessels.

May support venodilation in severe HF; hypothesis-generating for regional capacitance effects.
Risöe et al. (1992) studied this question.
