Myocardial infarction in early pregnancy.
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during pregnancy is usually transmural and occurs in late pregnancy with a peak incidence during the peripartum or postpartum periods. We report a pregnancy-related AMI, which occurring as early as the first trimester, was treated conservatively with antithrombotic and anti-ischemic drugs both acutely and through the rest of the ultimately successful pregnancy.
