Currently on the UI menu and according to the LAS drug guides, nitroglycerin “increases low blood pressure”. This is completely the opposite of what it actually does. It causes vasodilation and therefore reduces blood pressure to relieve symptoms of cardiac chest pain.

Nitroglycerin provides a sudden increase in heart rate but lowers blood pressure. It's main function in game is to increase heart rate when a patient is bradycardic (low heart rate although not low enough to justify use of atrop/adrenaline). If this is incorrect on the drug guide, we'll get it amended.
