Acute myocardial infarction in pregnancy is very rare. Prognosis is poor in patients under the age of 35 years suffering a myocardial infarction in the third trimester, and delivering within 2 weeks of her infarction. We describe the case of a 57-year-old asymptomatic woman who developed a myocardial infarction during pregnancy 35 years ago. We analyze her acute as well as long-term follow-up. A review of the recent literature follows. Unique data regarding this topic and published in the Czech- and Slovak-language literature to date are also provided.
