nitroglycerin and Fetal Death

nitroglycerin has been researched along with Fetal Death 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.

Fetal Death: Death of the developing young in utero. BIRTH of a dead FETUS is STILLBIRTH.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To our knowledge, this is the first time that a combination of aspirin and glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) has been used in the prophylaxis of preeclampsia and fetal growth retardation, and their use associated with not only Doppler screening of the uterine arteries but also regular Doppler follow-up of the fetal arterial and venous circulation."3.70A novel approach to the management of pregnancies complicated by uteroplacental insufficiency and previous stillbirth. ( Black, RS; Campbell, S; Lees, CC; Oyelese, KO, 1998)
"These signs are similar to those of preeclampsia and indicate that an alteration in nitric oxide synthesis may be one of the factors responsible for this disorder."1.29Inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis in rats during pregnancy produces signs similar to those of preeclampsia. ( Garfield, RE; Yallampalli, C, 1993)
