Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
Introduction: Myocardial infraction is one of the most common causes of hospitalizing patients in industrial countries; in the US, 1.1 million people suffer from this disease, and about 30 percent of them die from the complications arising from this disease(1). The main cause of cardiac diseases especially myocardial infraction is arteriosclerosis of the coronary arteries. The most important measure to minimize the myocardial infraction rate and its complications is minimizing the risk factors(4). Rigegel maintains that by modifying and improving the risk factors among the groups at risk, the rate of infection and mortality of myocardial infraction can be reduced that can result in preserving the productive forces of the society and promoting the individuals’ quality of life. Material and method: The present study was conducted by searching both English and Persian databases including magiran, SID, Google scholars, and science direct pub med by using keywords such as myocardial infarction , pregnant women , review. At first, the researcher searched a large number of studies. Then, from among the studies searched, those that were not related to the subject of the present study were removed, and the researcher used only those studies having a proper relationship with the present study. In the present study, it was attempted to investigate the myocardial infarction in pregnant women. Discussion: Women at fertility ages are less likely to die due to cardiovascular diseases than men of the same ages. This can indicate that estrogen has a protective effect on women before menopause. However, from half a century ago, the time when contraceptive pill were used everywhere around the world, the results of several studies have shown that consuming different amounts of estrogen in combined contraceptive pills is associated with increased blood pressure. Increased blood pressure due to pregnancy is a common disorder which, together with bleeding and infection, make the death-causing triad.
