Abstract
The contribution of changes in myocardial blood flow to the antianginal effect of nitrates has continued to be controversial in spite of a large number of investigations using both experimental animals and humans. Contradictory data resulted mainly from different experimental designs and different techniques employed to assess myocardial blood flow.
