Coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction (MI) is rarely seen in women below the age of 40 years and even more rarely during pregnancy. The first case of MI during pregnancy was described by Katz in 1992 (1). Current literature reviewed by Samara et al. 1989 (2) listed only 62 cases of proven MI during pregnancy or in the puerperium, the maternal mortality rate being as high as 24%. In this paper we are going to report on a 26-year old pregnant woman suffering from MI, probably as a result of a haemostatic imbalance caused by a lack of prostacyclin synthesis stimulating plasma factor (PF) and elevated lipoprotein (a) (Lp (a)). The potentially deleterious thromboembolic complications in patients with PF-deficiency, especially in combination with elevated Lp (a), should be carefully considered.
