A 59-year-old male presents to the emergency room complaining of substernal chest pain. He reports a three-hour history of dull substernal chest pain that radiates into his left arm and jaw. He has experienced similar chest pain before that was brought on with exertion, but this pain is more severe and occurred with rest. His past medical history includes gout, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia. An EKG demonstrates ST segment depression. Serum troponin is elevated. In addition to aspirin, oxygen, and morphine, he is started on a sublingual medication. What is the main physiologic effect of this medication?
