Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during pregnancy is rare, especially in twin pregnancy, and it can endanger the lives of the mother and children. Except for conventional cardiovascular risk factors, pregnancy and assisted reproduction can increase the risk of AMI during pregnancy. AMI develops secondary to different etiologies, such as coronary spasm and spontaneous coronary artery dissection.
