Spontaneous Right Coronary Artery Dissection in a Normotensive Post-Partum Female.
J Ayub Med Coll Abottabad Nov ;30(2):280-3.

Acute myocardial infarction following coronary artery dissection during the post-partum period is a rare entity. Greater hemodynamic stress and hormonal changes increase the risk of developing a coronary artery dissection post-partum. Herein, we report the first case of a normotensive patient from Pakistan that presented with inferior wall myocardial infarction following 10-days postpartum due to right coronary artery dissection. This article highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and subsequent life-saving treatment.
