| Abstract: | Acute myocardial infarction, a rare peripartum event, is accompanied by significant maternal and fetal mortality. We report a 41-year-old woman who developed an acute myocardial infarction during the third trimester of pregnancy. The case of infarction was complicated with pulmonary oedema on the 3 day after delivery. Coronary angiography was performed 7 weeks post partum and no coronary lesions were detected. Therapeutic options in such condition are discussed and review of relevant literature is presented. |
