Abstract: Background: Acute coronary artery disease is estimated to happen between three and ten times per 100,000 live births. Acute pregnancy-related cardiovascular disease, albeit uncommon, is a terrible disorder that may kill both the mother as well as her unborn child. According to studies, case fatality could exceed 37%. Objective: This paper aims to analyses the outcomes of myocardial infarction in pregnant women. Patients and method: This paper was contributed to analyse and assess myocardial infarction in pregnant women; where it focused on pregnant women who have ages older than 25 to 45 years which find on myocardial infarction patients with 48 cases within different hospitals in Iraq from 16th June 2021 to 27th August 2022. The data collected were analysed and determined of outcomes by the SPSS program. Results and Discussion: Our study discovered that hypertension, a risk factor in preeclampsia with a condition more frequent in black women, is the cause of the relationship between pregnancy-related acute cardiovascular disease and hypertension. Obesity and age above 30 have been identified as substantial risk factors for pregnancy-related myocardial infarction. Because the risk of myocardial infarction increases with age and is higher in overweight women. Hypertension, postpartum infection, obesity, diabetes, and an increased risk of thrombosis have all been known to be more common in pregnant women. Thrombophilia has been discovered as a risk factor underpinning myocardial infarction in young women but not as a risk associated with acute myocardial infarction during pregnancy. Conclusion: Diabetes and hypertension impacted women after surgery, according to our data: postpartum hemorrhage and infection-induced changes in heart rate during post-operative recovery. Mothers with advanced maternal age, documented thrombophilia, particularly postpartum problems, and smokers should be prioritized for screening and preventive treatments.
