Hello, As the title suggests; Is an elevated heart rate considered a contraindication for the administration of Nitroglycerin?
I ask this because I've been going through NREMT practice exams (Specifically Limmer Creative's EMT PASS) and there reoccurring questions that Involve the idea that a heart rate above 100 is a contra-indiction for Nitro. Prior to these exams I hadn't heard of heart rate playing a factor in administration. Even looking through my textbook and information online I'm finding nothing to support this idea. I'm not claiming that the App is wrong by any means, I just want more information on it since I cant seem to find it anywhere else.
