Abstract

A case of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in late pregnancy is reported. The prognosis for pregnant women with AMI and the mode of delivery is discussed. A woman with recent myocardial infarction does not seem to benefit from parturition by Cesarean section but should rather have an assisted vaginal delivery with regional anesthesia.
