[Acute postpartal myocardial infarct: the role of methylergometrin in its etiopathogenesis].

Abstract

We report a 28-year-old patient with an acute myocardial infarction, without previous symptomatology of ischemic heart disease, 5 hours after a delivery. We discuss the role of methylergometrine, used for avoid the bleeding postpartum, in its etiopathology and its specific therapy.
