This case highlights a rare presentation of peripartum acute myocardial infarction associated with asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy and pre-eclampsia despite normal coronary arteries.
Tran et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Pre-eclampsia and acute myocardial infarction (n=1). Pre-eclampsia with malignant hypertension was evaluated on Acute myocardial infarction. A 26-year-old woman with pre-eclampsia and malignant hypertension developed an acute myocardial infarction two days postpartum, associated with asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy and normal coronary arteries.
