Terbutaline may exacerbate conditions in patients with pre-existing heart disease; cardiac monitoring and dose adjustments are essential to minimize risks.
Patients with cardiovascular issues should use terbutaline cautiously, under strict medical supervision, due to heightened risks of arrhythmias and ischemia.
Terbutaline use in those with heart disease requires careful monitoring for arrhythmic events; consult with a cardiologist to adjust dosage and assess risk.
