Use of Medication for Cardiovascular Disease During Pregnancy: JACC State-of-the-Art Review
2019, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :These recommendations include the use of parenteral prostaglandins (intravenous epoprostenol, treprostinil) in women with World Health Organization (WHO) functional class (FC) IV or significant RV dysfunction. Epoprostenol (161) has been the most extensively studied. The drugs may affect platelet aggregation and promote bleeding.
Special Situations in Pulmonary Hypertension: Pregnancy and Right Ventricular Failure
2016, Cardiology ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Prolonged second stage of labor should be strictly avoided and assisted delivery with forceps or vacuum considered in all patients with PAH. Uterotonic agents, such as ergometrine and carboprost, should not be used because they can cause pulmonary vasoconstriction and bronchospasm, leading to cardiovascular collapse.16 Furthermore, in 1 case report, oxytocin use in 2 pregnant patients with advanced PAH was shown to cause increased PVR and acute RV failure.28
