What is the primary action of nitroglycerin in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome?
Reducing oxygen saturation in the blood
Increasing heart rate
Constriction of blood vessels
Dilation of blood vessels
Nitroglycerin works by dilating blood vessels, which reduces the heart's workload and myocardial oxygen demand by lowering both preload and afterload. This vasodilation, especially of the coronary arteries, also helps to improve blood flow to the heart muscle, which alleviates the chest pain associated with acute coronary syndrome.
