| Abstract | Background Nitroglycerin (NG) reduces the systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure and augmentation index. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of NG on aortal augmentation (AA) and central augmentation index (CAI) in patients with different significance of the angiographically proved coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods The group of 66 patients referred for scheduled coronary angiography at Paul Stradins Clinical University Hospital Latvian Centre of Cardiology was analyzed. The mean age of patients was 62.8±11.9 years, 48.5% of them were male. The data about case history, cardiovascular risk factors, previous and concomitant therapy were collected. The applanation tonometry with Sphygmocor device, including radial pulse wave analysis (PWA), carotid PWA, carotid-femoral PWV before and after NG, was done. Coronary angiography was done for determination of presence and degree of coronary artery stenoses (CAS). Results Aortal augmentation and central augmentation index before and after nitroglycerin are seen in the Table 1. PWA No CAS CAS<50% CAS 50–70% CAS>70% p value AA before NG, mmHg 12.7± 10.9 17.4 ± 7.2 15.3 ± 6.4 22.0 ± 9.9 0.012 AA after NG, mmHg 4.3 ± 6.4 2.3 ± 8.1 2.6 ±4.7 11.5 ± 9.9 0.003 CAI before NG, % 25.2 ± 16.3 36.0 ± 17.9 28.6 ± 6.8 37.0 ± 10.0 0.019 CAI after NG, % 9.8 ± 15.3 6.3 ± 19.9 4.3 ± 9.7 21.0 ± 15.3 0.014 AA decrease after NG, % 86.0 ± 62.9 80.8 ± 39.0 89.1 ± 25.5 48.4 ±47.8 0.061 CAI decrease after NG, % 89.6 ± 73.9 71.4 ±45.4 87.7 ± 34.2 46.5 ± 38.6 0.055 Table 1 PWA before and after NG test and CAS. Conclusions There is a tendency of less decrease of the aortal augmentation and central augmentation index after the nitroglicerine test in patients with significant CAS. Additive prognostic value of nitroglicerine test should be further explored in future studies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
