Why are patients experiencing MI given nitroglycerin?

▸ It improves the return of venous blood to the heart and helps prevent heart failure.

▸ It dissolves the blood clot causing the MI and reduces stresses on the heart.

▸ It decreases platelet aggregation and prevents growth of blood clots in the coronary artery.

▸ It dilates the narrowed coronary artery and allows more blood into the myocardium.
