nitroglycerin and Cardiac Tamponade

nitroglycerin has been researched along with Cardiac Tamponade in 6 studies

Nitroglycerin: A volatile vasodilator which relieves ANGINA PECTORIS by stimulating GUANYLATE CYCLASE and lowering cytosolic calcium. It is also sometimes used for TOCOLYSIS and explosives.
nitroglycerol : A nitrate ester that is glycerol in which nitro group(s) replace the hydrogen(s) attached to one or more of the hydroxy groups.
nitroglycerin : A nitroglycerol that is glycerol in which the hydrogen atoms of all three hydroxy groups are replaced by nitro groups. It acts as a prodrug, releasing nitric oxide to open blood vessels and so alleviate heart pain.

Cardiac Tamponade: Compression of the heart by accumulated fluid (PERICARDIAL EFFUSION) or blood (HEMOPERICARDIUM) in the PERICARDIUM surrounding the heart. The affected cardiac functions and CARDIAC OUTPUT can range from minimal to total hemodynamic collapse.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"This case report highlights the importance of preload in cardiac tamponade, as cardiac arrest with pulseless electrical activity was unintentionally induced after sublingual administration of nitroglycerin in an 83-year-old woman with unrecognised haemopericardium."3.91[Iatrogenic clinically cardiac arrest after administration of nitroglycerin]. ( Elvander, CF; Hoffmann-Petersen, J; Peterslund, P, 2019)
"Acute cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening emergency that requires prompt treatment by either percutaneous or surgical pericardiocentesis."1.35Pericardial tamponade consequent to a dynamite explosion: blast overpressure injury without penetrating trauma. ( Davutoglu, V; Ozer, O; Sari, I; Yildirim, C, 2009)
