    Abstract:
    We present the case of a 39 year old woman with 36 weeks pregnancy and acute myocardial infarction seen at the Hospital ABC. Acute myocardial infarction during pregnancy is not very common and it's incidence has been calculated in 1:10,000 pregnancies it takes place more often during the third trimester, so we have to keep it in mind for early diagnosis. Mortality increases when it occurs during the third trimester close to delivery, during labor or in the first 7 days post delivery. Initial management of this high risk patients has to be done in a intensive care unit and requires of the intervention of multiple specialists, to decrease maternal and fetal mortality.
