Summary

Pregnancy-associated myocardial infarction is rare but serious. Individualized delivery management in these three third-trimester cases ensured no maternal or fetal deaths, despite significant cardiovascular risk factors.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Obstetrics
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Myocardial infarction during pregnancy is a critical obstetric emergency.
  • Risk factors for coronary artery disease and thrombosis are important considerations in pregnant patients.

Observation:

  • Three cases of third-trimester myocardial infarction are presented.
  • Delivery methods were individualized for each patient.
  • All patients had significant risk factors for cardiovascular events.

Findings:

  • No maternal or fetal mortality occurred in these three cases.
  • One patient presented with normal coronary arteries on arteriography, suggesting non-atherosclerotic causes or early disease.
  • Individualized management strategies were key to positive outcomes.

Implications:

  • This case series highlights the importance of vigilant cardiovascular risk assessment in pregnant individuals.
  • Prompt and tailored management can lead to favorable outcomes in pregnancy-associated myocardial infarction.
  • Further research into the specific etiologies of myocardial infarction in pregnancy is warranted.
