Morphine sulfate has potent<unk> and anxiolytic effects, as well as hemodynamic effects, that are potentially beneficial in unstable angina/NSTEMI. Morphine causes venodilation and can produce modest reductions in heart rate (through increased vagal tone) and systolic blood pressure to further reduce myocardial oxygen demand. It is a reasonable therapy for patients whose symptoms are not relieved despite nitroglycerine (NTG) (e.g., after 3 serial sublingual NTG tablets) or whose symptoms recur despite adequate anti-ischemic therapy.
