Angina pectoris is an acute chest pain caused by the inadequate flow of oxygen and blood to the heart. Nitroglycerine corrects this imbalance of flow. Writes Fye, "Nitroglycerine, the mainstay therapy for angina pectoris, is one of the few remedies discovered before the twentieth century that is still in the pharmacopeia. It also has the distinction of being one of the few drugs adopted by regular physicians from homeopaths." Garrison-Morton 2892.
