Acute myocardial infarction and normal coronary arteries in a pregnant woman.
As it is a rare case, we report a 37-year-old woman who had transmural myocardial infarction in her last trimester. Coronary arteriography done 15 days after her normal delivery showed normal coronary arteries and left ventriculography showed an apical aneurysm. The proposed cause appears to be coronary spasm.
