The authors describe the development of nitrates from substances of the first generation (nitroglycerin and isosorbit dinitrate) to the second generation (isosorbit-5-mononitrate). They explain the mechanism of their action, haemodynamic effects and the problem of nitrate tolerance. Indications of their rational use are given.
