High-Yield Explanation
Ans. b. Unstable/Symptomatic anginaRef: Goodman Gilman 12th e/P. 841Nitrates increase cyclic GMP production by stimulation of guanylate cyclase via NO. This cyclic GMP is responsible for vasodilation.Cyclic GMP is metabolized by PDE-5 and hence PDE-5 inhibitors like sildenafil and tadalafil can significantly increase cyclic GMP producing fatal hypotension.Thus tadalafil is contraindicated with nitrates and hence unstable/symptomatic angina is the best answer.
