Abstract

There is an erratum to this paper published in Veterinary Evidence Vol 3, Issue 1 (2018): http://dx.doi.org/10.18849/ve.v3i1.168

Clinical bottom line

There is very weak veterinary clinical and experimental evidence based upon a limited number of studies to indicate that adding transdermal nitroglycerine to other therapies used for management of left-sided congestive heart failure in dogs speeds the resolution of clinical signs.
