Nitroglycerin causes the relaxation of vascular smooth muscles, causing arteriolar and venous dilatation.
It reduces cardiac preload and afterload and reduces coronary artery spasm, decreasing systemic vascular resistance as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
The reduction of cardiac work by nitroglycerin is thought to cause the most relief of anginal symptoms, with some contributions from arteriolar dilatation effects.

Nitroglycerin is used to prevent or treat acute chest pain (angina) caused by heart problems.
It belongs to a group of medicines called vasodilators. It works by dilating the blood vessels to allow better circulation, so It can also be used to lower blood pressure.
