Acute myocardial infarction in a pregnant woman with congenital thrombophilia

A clinical case of acute myocardial infarction in a pregnant woman with congenital thrombophilia is presented. Acute myocardial infarction is more likely to develop in the third trimester, in women older than 30 years with classic risk factors: smoking, hyperlipidemia, obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus. The risk of acute myocardial infarction in pregnant women increases significantly against the background of thrombophilia. Thrombophilia is a hereditary or acquired predisposition to thrombosis. Acute myocardial infarction is a rare complication of pregnancy and is associated with high mortality. The development of thrombosis in a particular case is based on congenital (hereditary, familial) thrombophilia, which includes polymorphism of genes responsible for various parts of hemostasis – plasma, platelet in combination with pregnancy, which implies a state of hypercoagulation.
