Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Acute myocardial infarction rarely occurs in women during pregnancy. However, when it does occur, it usually carries a high risk of maternal and perinatal mortality. There is a lack of awareness that this condition can occur in pregnancy since coronary artery disease is uncommon in women of childbearing age. In this report, a 43-year-old lady with acute anterior myocardial infarction in her eighth week of pregnancy is presented. The challenges involved in diagnosing this condition in pregnancy are briefly discussed. |
