Abstract

We consider the prevalence and characteristics of development and course of stroke and myocardial infarction in pregnancy. In recent years the prevalence of stroke among pregnant women is 34.2 cases per 100 thousand deliveries, myocardial infarction - 6.2 per 100 thousand. Diagnosis and treatment of stroke and myocardial infarction in pregnancy have their own characteristics (use limitation of radiological techniques and thrombolysis, etc.). It is emphasized that the development of stroke or myocardial infarction in pregnant is quite a rare occurrence now. However, we have seen a significant increase in the frequency of risk factors for cardiovascular disease in pregnant women, age increase of women planning pregnancy in recent years. Consequently, we can expect growth in the incidence of severe vascular accidents in pregnancy in the near future.
