ST‐ Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction after Ectopic Pregnancy: A Case Report

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a major cause of maternal death in developed countries, accounting for 20% of cardiovascular deaths [1]. The incidence is expected to continue to rise, due to the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in pregnant women. Associated mortality is 5% in the pregnant population [2]. We present a particular case of a young woman presenting with ACS post partum from an ectopic pregnancy complicated by deep left ventricular dysfunction with a healthy coronary artery, in whom the diagnosis of Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy is also discussed.
