About Angina Pectoris
Angina Pectoris is a term for chest pain caused by an inadequate supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. It is often associated with the narrowed arteries found in coronary artery disease (CAD). This narrowing is due to atherosclerosis. It is common in people over the age of 50. Sometimes it occurs in younger people. It is more common in men than women. With angina, the affected patient’s heart may get sufficient blood for daily activities, but the arteries may not be able to respond appropriately to increased demands for oxygen during exercise, times of emotional or physical stress, and with extremes of temperature.
About Isosorbide Mononitrate Injection
Isosorbide mononitrate is a metabolite of isosorbide dinitrate, a vasodilatory agent which is converted to nitric oxide (NO), activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase, thereby stimulating the synthesis of cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) and this then activates a series of protein kinase dependent phosphorylations in the smooth muscle cells, eventually resulting in the dephosphorylation of the myosin light chain and the subsequent release of calcium ions thereby relaxing the smooth muscle cells and producing vasodilation. It is used in the treatment of angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, of chronic congestive heart failure, pulmonary hypertension and related coronary artery disease.
