Component

Symptomatic hypotension

Symptomatic hypotension. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does

Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.

  1. During treatment with sildenafil 25 milligrams three times daily subjects were significantly less tolerant of intravenously administered glyceryl trinitrate than during placebo based on the occurrence of a greater than 25 millimetre fall in blood pressure or symptomatic hypotension, and when a 500 microgram sublingual glyceryl trinitrate tablet was administered a fourfold greater decrease in systolic blood pressure was observed during the sildenafil period than during placebo, with negligible changes in heart rate, so that administration to patients using organic nitrates in any form is contraindicated.
