Myocardial infarction in pregnancy is a rare but significant cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality that presents challenges in diagnosis and treatment.
Myocardial infarction in pregnancy is a rare but increasingly recognized complication with significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, requiring specialized knowledge for diagnosis and treatment.
Alerts clinicians to diagnostic challenges in peripartum MI; leaves open need for prospective management trials.
UNLABELLED: The number of women experiencing myocardial infarction (MI) in pregnancy is relatively negligible. However, the incidence of MI in pregnancy may be on the rise, and maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality is significant. While diagnosis may be difficult, perinatal nurses must be knowledgeable about the risk factors and various means of treatment for the woman and family experiencing this acute complication of pregnancy. PRECIS: MI in pregnancy is rare, but can produce significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Challenges in diagnosis and treatment of MI in pregnancy are discussed.
