Does sublingual isosorbide dinitrate improve haemodynamic parameters in patients with acute myocardial infarction and left ventricular failure?
Sublingual isosorbide dinitrate rapidly reduces left ventricular filling pressure and improves left ventricular performance in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by heart failure.
Baxter et al. (1977) studied this question.
