Abstract:
Claimed is a method of delivering nitric oxide comprising non-electrolytically generating a first gas from a nitric oxide precursor that includes a precursor salt, wherein the first gas includes nitric oxide and is substantially devoid of nitrogen dioxide and transporting the first gas. Precise delivery of nitric oxide at therapeutic levels of 20 to 100 ppm and inhibition of reaction of nitric oxide with oxygen to form toxic impurities such as nitrogen dioxide can provide effective inhalation therapy for pulmonary hypertension.
Abstract:
Various methods for diagnosing and treating heart conditions are disclosed herein. According to one method, nitric oxide is delivered to a patient's lungs when the patient has one or more symptoms of a heart condition. The patient is diagnosed as suffering from a heart condition when a symptom of a heart condition subsides after nitric oxide delivery.
