Failure of transdermal nitroglycerin to improve chronic stable angina: a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, double crossover trial. 1984

P A Crean, and P Ribeiro, and F Crea, and G J Davies, and D Ratcliffe, and A Maseri

We assessed the effect of transdermal nitroglycerin (NTG-TTS), releasing 5 mg/24 hr, in 11 patients with chronic stable angina during a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, double crossover trial of four 1-week periods. All patients had a positive exercise test and coronary artery disease prior to entry into the study. Efficacy was assessed weekly by anginal diaries, ambulatory ST segment recordings, and computerized exercise testing 2 to 4 hours after renewal of NTG-TTS. One patient withdrew in the first week (placebo) and was excluded from all analysis. The weekly frequency of anginal attacks was 9 +/- 11 (mean +/- SD) and 9 +/- 10 during the 2 placebo weeks and 11 +/- 14 and 9 +/- 11 during NTG-TTS; the time to 1 mm ST segment depression (seconds) was 268 +/- 178 and 303 +/- 217 with placebo and 228 +/- 221 and 285 +/- 178 with NTG-TTS; exercise duration (seconds) was 375 +/- 230 and 467 +/- 254 during placebo and was 394 +/- 233 and 412 +/- 236 during NTG-TTS. The weekly number of episodes of ST depression was 11 +/- 9 and 8 +/- 5 during placebo and 8 +/- 5 and 9 +/- 7 during NTG-TTS. Our study failed to show any consistent differences in patients treated with placebo or NTG-TTS.
