Effectiveness
How Nitromist Affects PatientsNitroglycerin helps to relax the blood vessels, increasing blood flow to the heart and decreasing the amount of work the heart has to do. Nitroglycerin can also stop spasms in the coronary arteries, reducing the pressure in the arteries and lowering the blood pressure. However, taking nitroglycerin for too long can cause its effects to wear off, meaning it won't work as well as it used to. This may be due to an enzyme in the body being affected, and can lead to pro-oxidant effects, weak blood vessels, and an increased sensitivity to substances that cause vasoconstriction.
How Nitromist works in the bodyNitroglycerin works in the body to relax the muscles in blood vessels. It does this by turning into nitric oxide, a chemical that triggers the muscle relaxation. This leads to more space in the vessels, allowing more blood to flow and reducing pressure. Nitric oxide also activates a cascade of other chemicals that encourage relaxation. In addition, nitric oxide may also target natriuretic peptide receptors to further relax the muscles.
