“…In a recent analysis of trials published over the last 50 years, no superiority emerged for any of the agents listed as fist line versus those listed as second line [21] Beta-blockers and ivabradine are useful in the presence of flowlimiting obstructions, but they are ineffective when ischemia is caused by epicardial or microvascular spasm. Organic nitrates, acting as an exogenous substrate for nitric oxide (NO), are probably useful when endothelial dysfunction disrupts the endothelial L-arginine/NO pathway, resulting in decreased availability of bioactive NO with reduced endothelium-dependent relaxation, but induce tolerance with loss of efficacy [22]. When epicardial coronary or microvascular spasm is documented, calcium channel blockers should be the first choice [23].…”

“…A recent study showed that human saliva also contains NO in nano-micromolar levels. , Oral bacteria and salivary glands play a major role in the conversion process of NO from nitrate (NO 3 ) or nitrite (NO 2 ) in the salivary fluid. Any increase and decrease in the NO level in saliva can cause several deadly diseases including ischemia, hypertension, Parkinson, myocardial infarction, and cancer. Oral diseases like periodontitis are also linked to higher NO concentrations in saliva …”

“…This contamination is due to the extensive use of nitrogen based-fertilizers [1][2][3], which jeopardizes its viability as a source of drinking water [4]. Excess nitrate in drinking water can cause serious health problems [5], leading to ischemic heart disease [6], cancer [7,8], multiple sclerosis [9], Non-Hodgkim lymphoma among other conditions [10], and methemoglobinemia or "blue baby syndrome" [11]. For this reason, the threshold value in drinking water is established by the World Health Organization at 50 mg/L, which equates to 11 mg/L of nitrogen coming from nitrate [12,13].…”
