Case Report: ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Third Trimester Pregnancy

This case highlights the need for early STEMI activation and consultation with obstetrics when a pregnant patient presents with an ECG suggestive of STEMI. It also emphasizes the importance of maintaining a high level of suspicion for STEMI in pregnant patients presenting with chest pain. Although rare-0.6 in 10,000 pregnancies-mortality rates range from 5.1-37% throughout pregnancy and postpartum. It is important to remember that pregnancy does not preclude a patient from undergoing standard treatment of acute MI.
