On the other hand, insufficient NO production also causes serious medical problems. Many diseases such as hypertension, atherosclerosis and restenosis involve a deficiency of NO production. Therefore, a compound that can release NO under specific conditions can be used therapeutically to palliate NO underproduction. In fact, the best known NO donor, glyceryl trinitrate, has been used for over a century to relieve acute attacks of angina pectoris. 

Atherosclerosis in a coronary artery can lead to an infarct (see below). If the atherosclerosis is less severe, the reduction in the blood flow cannot provide enough oxygen in some conditions to support the work of the heart, for example during exercise or acute anxiety, and the resulting pain, angina pectoris, if frequent reduces the quality of life of the patient (Box 22.2).

Herbs have been used as medical treatments since the beginning of civilization and some herbal derivatives (e.g., aspirin, reserpine, and digitalis) have become a mainstay of human pharmacotherapy. For cardiovascular diseases, herbal treatments have been used in patients with congestive heart failure, systolic hypertension, angina pectoris, atherosclerosis, cerebral insufficiency, venous insufficiency, and arrhythmia. Scientific validation of several plant species has proved the efficacy of the botanicals in reducing the... 

Uses for the herb have included high and low blood pressure, tachycardia, arrhythmias, atherosclerosis, and angina pectoris (1). Hawthorn is also purported to have spasmolytic and sedative effects (1). Native Americans used it as a diuretic for kidney and bladder disorders and to treat stomach aches, stimulate appetite, and improve circulation (4). The flowers and berries have... 

Even though apparently sudden, a heart attack is the end result of a buildup of causes over years, particularly atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries. The immediate cause is a blood clot (thrombus) that, once having formed, blocks the narrowed lumen of a coronary artery. This denies the affected part of the myocardium blood and therefore oxygen. Technically, this may be referred to as a coronary thrombosis or myocardial infarction (Ml). Angina pectoris, which should also be mentioned, is characterized by severe pain and oppression above the heart, radiating to the shoulder and down the left arm.

In the literature up to 1950, an association of EHL and atherosclerosis was never mentioned and the reviews of Poulsen (1950), Movitt et al. (1951), and Joyner (1953) do not contain any cases with unequivocal affection of the cardiovascular system. Similarly the collection of 49 cases from the literature by Gadrat (1958) contained only one case with angina pectoris which had been described by Lever and Klein (1958). Thus it was stated by several authors that, although in EHL the degree of lipemia obviously far exceeds levels usually found in CHD (Dole et al. 1963), EHL would not seem to predispose to the development of early or particularly severe atheromatous vascular lesions (Thannhauser 1958, Zollner 1962).

Introduction - The general pattern of research in atherosclerosis needs a sharpening of the focus on that part of the vascular bed that seems to deal the most critical blow to maintenance of life when it becomes either inoperable Ln toto for a short period of time or is reduced in function for a more extended period of time, "it is now axiomatic that sclerotic changes in the coronary arteries are at the root of 90% of all genuine forms of angina pectoris and myocardial Infarction.Whenever possible,...
