title: [Heart-specific L-myosin in pregnancy and tocolysis therapy].
abstract: Determination of light-chain (L-)myosin represents the currently most sensitive and specific method for detection of myocardial damage, which often was reported during tocolysis with betamimetics. Compared with 51 healthy pregnant subjects, it was not possible to demonstrate any pathologic increase in 14 patients, who underwent a tocolytic treatment with ritodrine-verapamil.
