Caesarean section in a case of acute coronary syndrome - A case report

Abstract

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) during pregnancy is a rare event and can be a significant contributor to maternal and foetal mortality. We present here one such case of a 40-year-old primigravida posted for elective caesarean section at 36 weeks of pregnancy with a history of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and left ventricular failure which was treated conservatively.
