Organic Nitrates and Mechanism of Action
Patient was educated on Organic Nitrates and its mechanism of action as follows: Constricted or collapsed veins offer less capacitance, which increases the blood return to the heart. This can be detrimental in individuals with heart failure, as the heart is already in failure and cannot accommodate any extra load. This can worsen the condition of the heart. This situation can be helped with Organic Nitrates, as dilation of veins results in increased capacitance, where [...]
