Among cardiovascular diseases (CVD), coronary artery disease (CAD) and its complications remain a major cause of death and disability. In Russia, mortality from diseases of the circulatory system account for 56.5% of overall mortality, with about half of cases accounting for CAD [1]. Till now nitrates have been widely used in cardiology though their feasibility and safety are still matters of debate. Stable angina, the basic therapy of which includes nitrates, is the most common clinical form of coronary artery disease.
