Glyceryl trinitrate is the pharmaceutical name for Nitroglycerine, which is used in the treatment and prophylaxis of angina.The origins of the medical use(possibly apocrophal) stem from some workers at Alfred Nobel's nitroglycerine factory finding that their angina improved while they were inhaling airborne nitroglycerine.
