[Acute myocardial infarct and pregnancy. A case report]. / Akutni infarkt miokarda i trudnoca. Povodom jednog slucaja.

The authors describe a case of acute myocardial infarction in a healthy parturient in the 10th I. m. who had a spontaneous delivery without any major complications. Except for a strong stenocardial pain and unequivocal ECG findings, there were no other clinical or laboratory findings characteristic of acute myocardial infarction. The authors consider that a healthy heart in pregnancy is probably protected from myocardial infarction by some known and unknown factors. They claim, however, that myocardial infarction can occur and that it is possible to detect it if adequate attention is paid to stenocarial pain in pregnancy.
