The efficacy of two sublingual nitroglycerin formulations was compared in 10 healthy subjects and 10 patients with ischaemic heart disease. A new microcomputerized device was used to record and analyze heart rate. The rise in heart rate began 1‐1.5 min after administration of nitroglycerin tablets and was maximal within 3 min. The effect was more rapid with a quickly dissolving compound. The recording equipment was reliable, simple to use and inexpensive.
