The action of nitrates appears to be mediated indirectly through reduction of MVo2 secondary to venodilation and arterial-arteriolar dilation, leading to a reduction in wall stress from reduced ventricular volume and pressure. Direct actions on the coronary circulation include dilation of large and small intramural coronary arteries, collateral dilation, coronary artery stenosis dilation, abolition of normal tone in narrowed vessels, and relief of spasm.

The effect of papaverine and of other substances on coronary circulation in insufficiency of the myocardium resulting from ligature of coronary vessels was studied by Markova (162) on cats and McEachem et al. (163) on dogs. Intravenous injection of papaverine decreased the mortality from 75 to 50%. Papaverine also partially regenerated the loss of sodium and potassium ions (164). In experimentally induced myocardial infarction in cats (caused by ligature of coronary arteries)...

The term acute coronary syndrome (ACS) encompasses most of the patients defined so far in this chapter who present with unstable ischemic heart disease. Most of these syndromes occur in response to an acute event in the coronary artery when circulation to a region of the heart is obstructed. If the obstruction is high grade and persists, then necrosis usually ensues. Since necrosis takes some time to develop, it is apparent that therapy, including opening the blocked coronary artery in a timely fashion, often can prevent some of the death of myocardial tissue. These syndromes are usually, but not always, associated with chest discomfort.
