Overview
In patients with chronic stable angina, nitrates remain the mainstay of therapy. Organic nitrates are therapeutic precursors of endothelium-derived relaxing factor that produce their beneficial effects both, by decreasing myocardial oxygen requirements and by improving myocardial perfusion. The most commonly used nitrates are nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate and isosorbide mononitrate. Short acting nitrates, such as sublingual nitroglycerin, are best suited to treat acute episodes of angina and are effective when used for situational prophylaxis. Long-acting nitrates help to reduce the frequency and severity of angina and may increase exercise tolerance in patients with stable angina.[1][2][3] Nitrates at therapeutic doses do not affect coronary vascular resistance, thereby reducing the risk of myocardial ischemia due to coronary steal phenomena that is consistent with the use of dipyridamole and other short acting dihydropyridines.
Nitrates
Mechanisms of Benefit
- Nitrates within the vessel wall are metabolized to nitric oxide (NO) which is an endothelium-derived relaxing factor.[4] This stimulates guanylate cyclase to produce cyclic guanosine mono phosphate (cGMP), which is responsible for vasodilation.
- Nitrates induce coronary arterial vasodilation that helps to reduce the degree of coronary artery stenosis produced by an eccentric atherosclerotic plaque.[5]
- Nitrates induce vasodilation even in the collateral vessels, thereby enhancing coronary collateral flow to the ischemic myocardium and subsequently relieving coronary vasospasm.[6]
- Nitrates decrease myocardial oxygen demand by decreasing intra-cardiac volumes consequent to reduced venous return resulting from peripheral venous dilatation (preload reduction) and by reducing arterial pressure resulting from arterial dilation (afterload reduction). These beneficial effects are partly offset by a reflex increase in the heart rate due to the reduced cardiac output, which could be prevented with concomitant beta-blocker use.
- In addition to the above beneficial effects, nitric oxide also inhibits platelet adhesion and aggregation.
Indications
- Nitrates are effective in the management of various clinical subsets of stable angina pectoris.
- In patients with exertional angina, nitrates improve exercise tolerance, the time to the onset of angina and ST segment depression during the treadmill exercise test.
- In patients with vasospastic angina, nitrates relax the smooth muscles of epicardial vessels, thereby relieving coronary artery spasm.
- In patients with mixed angina and postprandial angina, nitrates reduce myocardial oxygen demand and promote coronary vasodilation.
- Prophylaxis:
- For situational prophylaxis, short-acting nitrates such as sublingual nitroglycerin may be used several minutes before planned exertion. However, its short duration of action (20 to 30 min) makes it less practical for long-term prevention of ischemia in patients with stable angina.
- For angina prophylaxis, long acting nitrate preparations such as isosorbide dinitrate, mono nitrates, transdermal nitroglycerin patches, and nitroglycerin paste are preferable.
- Nitrates reduce intra-cardiac pressures hence may be effective in patients with left ventricular dysfunction or mitral insufficiency.
- In the presence of increased intraocular pressure, nitrates can be used safely as they do not worsen glaucoma, which was once thought to be a contraindication to their use.
Contraindications
- Nitrates are relatively contraindicated in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, because in these patients, nitrates can increase LV outflow tract obstruction and severity of mitral regurgitation and can precipitate presyncope or syncope. For the same reason, nitrates should be avoided in patients with aortic valve stenosis.
- A 72-hour interval period is required between the administration of nitrates and sildenafil in order to prevent profound hypotension.[7][8]
Dosage
- The onset of action of sublingual nitroglycerin tablets or nitroglycerin spray is within 1 to 3 minutes, making these the preferred agents for the acute relief of effort or rest angina.
- The patient needs to be instructed that active nitroglycerin will cause some tingling under the tongue, and that if this does not occur, the efficacy of their nitroglycerine tablets could be expired.
- Oral nitroglycerin is given every 8-12 hours.
- Isosorbide dinitrate (20-80 mg) should not be used more frequently than two times a day.[9]
- Sustained release-isosorbide mononitrate is effective if given twice daily.[10]
- Transdermal nitroglycerin schedule of 12 hours-on and 12 hours-off is most effective in improving exercise performance.[11]
Adverse Effects
- Throbbing headache, which tends to decrease with continued use.
- Flushing
- Palpitations
- Paradoxical angina characterized by angina non-responsive to nitroglycerin, postural hypotension and reflex tachycardia may be a result of nitrate overdose.
- The major clinical problem for long term nitrate therapy is nitrate tolerance.
Nitrate Tolerance
- Tolerance develops not only to antianginal and hemodynamic effects but also to platelet anti-aggregatory effects.
- The mechanism for development of nitrate tolerance remains unclear. The four important hypothese are:
- Sulfhydryl-Depletion Hypothesis:[12] Decreased availability of sulfhydryl (SH) radicals consequent to continuous long-term nitrate therapy is associated with loss of nitrate efficacy.
- Neurohormonal Hypothesis:[13] An increase in vasoconstrictor response as a consequence of nitrate-induced vasodilation may be responsible for the reduced efficacy of long-term nitrates. Another study postulated the increased production of superoxide anion and vasopressor endothelin being responsible for the loss of nitrate response.[14][15]
- Plasma-Volume-Expansion Hypothesis: Sustained nitrate therapy induces plasma volume expansion[16] that subsequently reverses the effect of nitrates on ventricular preload and contributes to nitrate tolerance. However, studies suggest concomitant use of hydrochlorothiazide or ACEIs did not prevent nitrate induced plasma volume expansion.[17][18]
- Free-Radical Hypothesis: Generation of free radicals by the endothelium with enhanced degradation of nitric oxide has been proposed. The mechanism of nitrate-induced increase in free radical production is unclear, however studies suggest angiotensin II may be an important contributing factor by increasing endothelin production as a response to nitrate therapy.[19][15]
- Prevention of nitrate tolerance:
- The most reliable method for the prevention of nitrate tolerance is to ensure a nitrate free period of approximately 10 hours, usually including sleeping hours, in patients with effort angina.[20]
- Smaller and less frequent dosing.
- Long-term formulations could be avoided unless a prolonged nitrate-free interval is provided.
- Concurrent administration of an SH donor such as SH-containing ACE inhibitors, acetyl or methyl cysteine, and diuretics has been suggested to reduce the development of nitrate tolerance.
- Hydralazine inhibits membrane-bound oxidases thereby reducing free radical production.[21] Hence, concomitant administration of hydralazine has shown to reduce nitrate tolerance.[22]
