Pregnancy-related spontaneous coronary artery dissection after intravenous ritodrine infusion: a case report / 世界急诊医学杂志（英文）

ABSTRACT

@#Ritodrine hydrochloride (ritodrine) is a β2-adrenoceptor stimulant that has been effectively prescribed for the prevention of premature labor.[1] In clinical practice, one of the biggest drawbacks of β-mimetics is their adverse effects, including arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia, and pulmonary edema, due to their β-sympathomimetic effects.[2] Here, we report a rare pregnant case of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) after intravenous infusion of ritodrine.
