Table 1 Summary of case reports on acute myocardial infarction in pregnancy

Ref.	Type	Core tip
Guven et al[6], 2004	Case report	A 38-yr-old gravida 8 para 5 woman at 26 wk of gestation presenting with myocardial infarction had experienced two myocardial infarction attacks previously, along with a history of hypertension for 5 yr. Hypertension was the risk factor and pregnancy in a woman with pre-existing ischaemic heart disease must be considered a high-risk situation.
Iadanza et al[7], 2007	Case report	A 40-yr-old woman at her 38th wk of the gestational period was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction with anterior ST elevation due to left coronary spasm. She was free from cardiovascular disease risk factors.
Fayomi and Nazar[8], 2007	Case report	A 33-yr-old gravida 7 para 6 woman at 32 wk of gestation was diagnosed with anteroapical myocardial infarction, more likely due to atherosclerosis. She had a 15 cigarettes per day smoking habit.
Chen et al[9], 2009	Case report	A 27-yr-old gravida 1 woman at 34 wk of gestation presented with acute myocardial infarction. Although having unremarkable medical history and no risk factors for cardiac disease, she was under the impression of antepartum hemorrhage, preterm labor, the use of ritodrine, and pregnancy-related elevations in cholesterol and triglyceride.
Baskurt et al[10], 2010	Case report	A 24-yr-old woman in her 18th wk of pregnancy was diagnosed with myocardial infarction. She had two abortions during the last years and had received hydroxyprogesterone caproate treatment. Also, she presented with high lipid levels.
von Steinburg et al[11], 2011	Case report	A 46-yr-old woman was diagnosed as having acute myocardial infarction in the 20th wk of twin pregnancy after in vitro fertilization. She had several cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension, obesity, hypercholesterolemia, smoking, and family history. And she presented preeclampsia.
Akçay et al[12], 2018	Case report	A 34-yr-old female patient in her 36th wk of pregnancy presented with acute anterior myocardial infarction. She had no known risk factor for coronary artery disease, no history of substance abuse, and no any problems related to the pregnancy. But it was noted that this was her second pregnancy.
Diakite et al[13], 2019	Case report	A 34-yr-old woman in her 35th wk of pregnancy was diagnosed with myocardial infarction. Her past medical history revealed no previous hospitalizations and no cardiovascular risk factors. But her laboratory tests revealed transient protein S deficiency. Deficits in protein S could result in thrombosis.
