Solutions

Expert Solution

The interior surface (endothelium) of the arteries produce nitric oxide.

When plaque builds up in the arteries, called atherosclerosis, it reduces the capacity to produce nitric oxide, which is why physicians prescribe nitroglycerin for heart and stroke patients.

Nitroglycerin acts by releasing nitric oxide which relaxes narrowed blood vessels, increasing oxygen and blood flow.

NO promotes healthy dilation of the veins and arteries so blood can move throughout your body. Also, it prevents red blood cells from sticking together to create dangerous clots and blockages

Hence, we can say that Nitric oxide has cardiovascular benefits.
