Nitrates in the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease. The role of aerosol formulations

Abstract

Nitrates have been commonly used in the treatment of patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) for about 150 years. However, the feasibility and safety of nitrates in cardiology remains a matter of debate till today. Among CVDs, coronary artery disease (CAD) and its complications remain a major cause of death and disability. Thus, in Russia in 2006, mortality from diseases of the circulatory system accounted for 56.5% of overall mortality, with about half of cases accounting for CAD [1]. Stable angina is the most widespread clinical form of CAD.
