Where this comes from

Abstract

Nitrates are beneficial because they combine coronary and noncoronary effects. They have proven clinical efficacy, relieving symptoms and documented evidence of ischaemia. They can be given to patients by multiple routes and can be easily combined with other anti-ischaemic drugs including aspirin, heparin, calcium antagonists and beta-blockers.
