1 A case of pregnancy-associated acute myocardial infarction with refractory ventricular fibrillation and heart failure  Tomoya Hasegawa, MD, Hiroaki Tabata, MD, Mitsuru Kagoshima, MD, FJCC, Hiroyuki Okada, MfD, Hiroshi Aida, MD, Wataru Shoin, MD, Kyoko Shoin, MD, Uichi Ikeda, MD, PhD, FJCC  Journal of Cardiology Cases  Volume 14, Issue 1, Pages (July 2016) DOI: /j.jccase Copyright © 2016 Japanese College of Cardiology Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 (A) Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor detects ventricular fibrillation. (B) After electrical defibrillation, ECG shows no remarkable ST-T changes or QT prolongation. (C) ECG at discharge reveals diffuse abnormal Q and T-wave inversion on the anterior and inferior leads.

3 Fig. 2 (A) Coronary angiographic imaging shows the obstructed proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) (black arrow). (B) Coronary angiography after guide wire passage through the LAD reveals the spiral dissection (thin black arrow). Intravascular ultrasonography imaging demonstrates intramural hematoma from proximal to middle sections of the LAD (a–e, white asterisks). (C) Angiographic imaging after stent implantation shows normal flow of the LAD without dissections (black asterisk).

4 Fig. 3 Transthoracic echocardiography and multi-slice computed tomographic imaging. Apical four-chamber view during diastolic phase (A) and systolic phase (B) shows broad anterior akinesia (white arrows) and depressed left ventricular ejection fraction at 30%. (C) Multi-slice computed tomographic imaging of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) performed 3 months after the initial event shows stent thrombosis (white arrow) and distal collateral flow (black arrow). It also shows another coronary dissection in the proximal LAD (*), as well as wall thinning of infarcted area (**).
