Acute Myocardial Infarction Due to Spontaneous Coronary Dissection in Pregnancy: A Case Report and Management Considerations.
Article in International journal of women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during pregnancy is a rare but life-threatening condition with unique pathophysiological mechanisms and management challenges. We present the case of a 28-year-old woman at 37 weeks of gestation who developed AMI due to spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). Initially admitted with retrosternal pain and transient electrocardiographic changes, she exhibited a significant rise in troponin levels, prompting a multidisciplinary reassessment. Conservative management was initially pursued, but recurrent chest pain and worsening electrocardiographic findings necessitated urgent coronary angiography. The procedure confirmed a long dissection of the left circumflex artery, successfully treated with percutaneous coronary intervention using a "stent-in-stent" technique. Given the high-risk nature of her pregnancy, anticoagulation therapy was carefully adjusted to minimize peripartum hemorrhagic complications. At 39 weeks, she underwent cesarean delivery of a healthy neonate. Follow-up evaluation one year post-intervention showed overall improvement, with only minor residual sequelae, including mildly reduced left ventricular function and subtle electrocardiographic changes. This case underscores the complexities of diagnosing and managing SCAD-related AMI in pregnancy, emphasizing the need for individualized treatment strategies that balance maternal cardiovascular risks with fetal safety. Given the rarity of SCAD in this population and the limitations of standardized guidelines, accumulating clinical experience is essential to refine management approaches in future cases.
