[Myocardial necrosis due to tocolysis with fenoterol (author's transl)]. 1979

K Meinen, and H Breinl, and E W Schmidt, and A Wellstein

95 women had undergone treatment with beta-adrenergic Fenoterol for periods lasting as long as 9 weeks in order to try to avoid premature labour. Electrocardiographic studies and regular controls of the kinase isoenzymes of creatin which is specific for cardiac muscle were carried out in order to avoid myocardial damage, as was MB creatinkinase. In no case was a pathological rise in the activity of the enzyme shown even after full doses of the substance had been given for a long time.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007527 Isoenzymes Structurally related forms of an enzyme. Each isoenzyme has the same mechanism and classification, but differs in its chemical, physical, or immunological characteristics. Alloenzyme,Allozyme,Isoenzyme,Isozyme,Isozymes,Alloenzymes,Allozymes
D007752 Obstetric Labor, Premature Onset of OBSTETRIC LABOR before term (TERM BIRTH) but usually after the FETUS has become viable. In humans, it occurs sometime during the 29th through 38th week of PREGNANCY. TOCOLYSIS inhibits premature labor and can prevent the BIRTH of premature infants (INFANT, PREMATURE). Preterm Labor,Labor, Premature,Premature Labor,Premature Obstetric Labor,Labor, Premature Obstetric,Labor, Preterm
D009206 Myocardium The muscle tissue of the HEART. It is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC) connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow. Muscle, Cardiac,Muscle, Heart,Cardiac Muscle,Myocardia,Cardiac Muscles,Heart Muscle,Heart Muscles,Muscles, Cardiac,Muscles, Heart
D009336 Necrosis The death of cells in an organ or tissue due to disease, injury or failure of the blood supply.
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D003402 Creatine Kinase A transferase that catalyzes formation of PHOSPHOCREATINE from ATP + CREATINE. The reaction stores ATP energy as phosphocreatine. Three cytoplasmic ISOENZYMES have been identified in human tissues: the MM type from SKELETAL MUSCLE, the MB type from myocardial tissue and the BB type from nervous tissue as well as a mitochondrial isoenzyme. Macro-creatine kinase refers to creatine kinase complexed with other serum proteins. Creatine Phosphokinase,ADP Phosphocreatine Phosphotransferase,ATP Creatine Phosphotransferase,Macro-Creatine Kinase,Creatine Phosphotransferase, ATP,Kinase, Creatine,Macro Creatine Kinase,Phosphocreatine Phosphotransferase, ADP,Phosphokinase, Creatine,Phosphotransferase, ADP Phosphocreatine,Phosphotransferase, ATP Creatine
D004983 Ethanolamines AMINO ALCOHOLS containing the ETHANOLAMINE; (-NH2CH2CHOH) group and its derivatives. Aminoethanols
D005260 Female Females
D005280 Fenoterol A synthetic adrenergic beta-2 agonist that is used as a bronchodilator and tocolytic. Berotec,Berotek,Fenoterol Hydrobromide,Fenoterol Hydrochloride,Partusisten,Phenoterol,Th-1165a,p-Hydroxyphenyl-orciprenaline,p-Hydroxyphenylorciprenaline,Hydrochloride, Fenoterol,Th 1165a,Th1165a,p Hydroxyphenyl orciprenaline,p Hydroxyphenylorciprenaline
