other action of nitrates is to de

According to results from large
studies such as the Framingham
Heart Study, better than half of all
persons over age 65 will have one
or more heart attacks. Angina is a
symptom frequently associated
with heart attacks. With angina,
the blood vessels within the heart
become narrow and/or blocked,
producing chest pain. One type of
angina is stable angina. Chest pain
is more common during periods of
physical effort or emotional stress.
With unstable angina, pain can
occur with very little physical ef
fort or emotional stress. Persons
with unstable angina may experi
ence spasms of the heart vessels
along with blood vessel blockage.
