Nitric Oxide · Cardiovascular Health · Memoir
Explore Dr. Lou Ignarro’s books on nitric oxide, cardiovascular health, healthy living and the personal story behind the Nobel Prize-winning discovery.
Second Edition
Fully revised, with the latest science on nitric oxide.
Twenty years after the original edition, Dr. Ignarro returns to the subject that has shaped his life’s work: nitric oxide, also known as NO.
NO is produced naturally in the body and plays an essential role in cardiovascular health. It helps arteries relax, improves blood flow, lowers blood pressure and supports the delivery of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.
In this revised edition, Dr. Ignarro explains how healthy food, physical activity, breathing through the nose and other daily habits can help support your body’s natural production of NO.

The Memoir
The Discovery That Led to a Nobel Prize & Viagra
Dr. NO tells the story of Dr. Ignarro’s life, from the son of Italian immigrants to a Nobel Prize-winning scientist.
It is a personal story and a scientific story. Dr. Ignarro shares the path that led to the discovery of nitric oxide as a unique signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system, and how that work helped lead to the development of Viagra for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
First Edition
The national bestseller that introduced nitric oxide to millions of readers.
In NO More Heart Disease, Dr. Ignarro explains how nitric oxide helps protect the cardiovascular system by relaxing arteries, improving blood flow and helping to prevent unwanted clotting and inflammation in the arteries.
The book also outlines simple ways to support NO production, including healthy food, targeted supplements and moderate physical activity.

The discovery of Nitric Oxide by Dr. Ignarro, and the role it plays in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, is as important as the discovery of penicillin and insulin.
