At least one agent is an NO donor selected from the group consisting of glyceryl trinitrate, isosorbide 5-mononitrate, isosorbide dinitrate, pentaerythritol tetranitrate, erythrityl tetranitrate, sodium nitroprusside, 3-morpholinosydnonimine molsidomine, S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine, S-nitrosoglutathione, and N-hydroxy-L-arginine. |
