Cardiogenic shock after nifedipine administration in a pregnant patient: A case report and review of the literature

Abstract: We present a case of a 21-year-old Caucasian woman at 27 weeks of pregnancy who was admitted to the obstetric department for pre-term labor. She received 10 mg of nifedipine 4 times in 1 h, according to the internal protocol. Shortly after, she brutally deteriorated with pulmonary edema and hypoxemia requiring transfer to the intensive care unit (ICU) for mechanical ventilation. She finally improved and was successfully extubated after undergoing a percutaneous valvuloplasty of the mitral valve. This case illu… Show more

“…It should be noted that reactions (6)-(8) are in consistence with known theoretical considerations (31) of Ca 2+ role in the regulation of CDB3 activity by corresponding kinases and phosphatases (52). Activation of the enzymes (kinases and phosphatases) by Ca 2+ is modeled in our work by Michaelis-Menten reaction (6), which formally describes stimulated activation of CDB3. We added reaction (8) of CDB3 spontaneous deactivation since our experimental data showed nonzero positive interception obtained by the theoretically linear dependence of the activation rate k on the inhibitor (nifedipine) concentration [I] (see Figs.…”

“…Other uses include painful spasms of the esophagus , Raynaud's phenomenon , tocolytic therapy . However, the effect of the treatment by nifedipine is not always positive . In particular, it is not clear the influence of nifedipine on the rate of HCO 3− / Cl − transmembrane CDB3 protein (AE1, Band 3), which plays an important role in bicarbonate metabolism .…”

“…In case of CCB overdose, intravenous calcium infusion is used (Salhanick & Shannon, ). Although cardiovascular toxicity by some CCBs is manifested by bradycardia and tachycardia, nifedipine, a vasodilator, does not have a direct effect on the heart but can induce reflex tachycardia (Botta et al, ). Guidelines of the Society of Critical Care Medicine recommends the use of catecholamines, such as norepinephrine or epinephrine, particularly norepinephrine to treat vasodilatory shock (Graudins et al, ).…”

“…This can predict whether there is no reflow or slow blood flow after stent implantation. At present, the prevention and treatment of microcirculatory disorders and coronary no reflow are limited[26-32]. Therefore, in patients with hyperthrombotic lesions that achieve complete recanalization of infarcted coronary arteries, pre-coronary administration of drugs, such as glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists or sodium nitroprusside, should be fully evaluated based on the nature of the thrombus extracted from the coronary arteries.…”
