Myocardial infarction during pregnancy is a rare event but is considered to be associated with very high mortality of both mother and fetus. We report uncomplicated cesarean section in the 3rd pregnancy in woman with a prior myocardial infarction that occurred during the first hours after cesarean section delivery of the 2nd pregnancy. Intensive cardiological and obstetrical supervision are required for correct management of the pregnancy.
