Angina Pectoris: Nicorandil is primarily used for the prevention and treatment of angina pectoris, a condition characterized by chest pain or discomfort due to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. It works by dilating the blood vessels (both arteries and veins), which increases blood flow to the heart and reduces the workload on the heart muscle. This helps relieve angina symptoms and may reduce the frequency and severity of angina attacks.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Nicorandil is beneficial in patients with coronary artery disease, where there is a buildup of plaque in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. By dilating coronary arteries, nicorandil improves blood flow to the heart muscle, which can help prevent ischemia (lack of oxygen) and reduce the risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack).
Hypertension: Nicorandil's vasodilatory effects also extend to systemic arteries, leading to a reduction in peripheral vascular resistance and blood pressure. While not typically used as a first-line treatment for hypertension, nicorandil may be considered in individuals with concomitant angina and hypertension or in those who have not responded adequately to other antihypertensive medications.
Coronary Artery Spasm: Nicorandil is particularly effective in preventing and relieving coronary artery spasm (vasospasm), which can lead to angina or myocardial infarction. Its dual mechanism of action as both a potassium channel opener and a nitric oxide donor helps relax smooth muscle cells in the blood vessel walls, preventing spasm and promoting vasodilation.
Heart Failure: Some studies have suggested potential benefits of nicorandil in patients with heart failure, particularly those with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Nicorandil's vasodilatory and anti-ischemic properties may help improve cardiac function, reduce symptoms, and enhance exercise tolerance in these patients. However, more research is needed to establish its role in heart failure management.
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): Nicorandil's vasodilatory effects may also benefit individuals with peripheral arterial disease by improving blood flow to the limbs, relieving symptoms such as intermittent claudication (leg pain during walking), and promoting wound healing. However, its use in this context is less common compared to other medications like cilostazol.
| Rank | Probiotic | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| species | Bacteroides uniformis | Reduces |
| species | Parabacteroides distasonis | Reduces |
We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
