Abstract
Substernal and epigastric pain occurring during labor was not considered important until the first postpartum day when an obvious myocardial infarction was diagnosed in a 37-year-old woman. Angiography revealed normal coronary arteries, and the myocardial infarction was postulated to be due to arterial spasm in association with smoking, oxytocin, ephedrine, and epidural anesthesia.
