Acute myocardial infarction in women during childbearing age is rare. We report a case of a 40-year-old female patient with no history or cardiovascular risk factors, 24-week pregnant who presented with acute coronary syndrome with an ST-elevation anterior extended complicated by cardiogenic shock. Cardiac ultrasound showed systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle at 30%. Emergency coronary angiography revealed subocclusion of the proximal anterior interventricular artery. We performed a primary angioplasty with placement of a stent after balloon predilation with a satisfactory agiographic result and an improvement in the hemodynamic state. The patient gave birth by cesarean section at 30 weeks of pregnancy after a pocket rupture of infectious waters. The newborn died after 72 hours. After 6 years of evolution, the patient remained asymptomatic under medal treatment.
