Myocardial ischemia is a pathological condition in which the blood perfusion of the heart is reduced, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply to the heart and abnormal myocardial energy metabolism, which cannot support the normal work of the heart. Pregnancy may increase the burden on the heart, increase the severity of myocardial ischemia, and increase the risk of heart attack and other complications in patients with myocardial ischemia. However, pregnancy may still be considered in some cases in patients with myocardial ischemia. Here are some factors to consider: 1. Disease control: The patient's myocardial ischemia needs to be well controlled. This includes stable angina symptoms, normal heart function, absence of arrhythmia, etc. The doctor will determine whether the patient's heart condition is suitable for pregnancy through detailed examination and evaluation. 2. Treatment plan: The patient needs to continue to receive appropriate treatment to control myocardial ischemia and prevent heart attacks. This may include medication, lifestyle changes,(such as quitting smoking, healthy diet, moderate exercise, etc.) and possible interventional therapy or surgical treatment. 3. Risk assessment: Doctors will conduct a comprehensive risk assessment of the patient, including heart function, vascular condition, other potential health problems, etc. They will also consider the patient's age, reproductive history, family history and other factors. based on the results of the risk assessment, the doctor can develop personalized pregnancy planning and management protocols. 4. Close monitoring: During pregnancy, patients need to closely monitor heart function and health. This may include regular prenatal examinations, ECG monitoring, cardiac ultrasound, etc. The doctor will adjust the treatment plan in time according to the monitoring results. 5. Delivery mode: Patients with myocardial ischemia may be at higher risk during delivery and need to discuss appropriate delivery methods with their doctor. Cesarean section may be chosen to reduce the burden on the heart. It is important to note that pregnancy in patients with myocardial ischemia is a complex situation and needs to be performed under close guidance from a doctor. Patients should actively cooperate with their doctor's treatment and monitoring and follow their doctor's recommendations to ensure their own safety and that of their fetus. In addition, for women with a history of myocardial ischemia or other heart diseases, it is recommended to consult a cardiovascular specialist and obstetrician for detailed evaluation and discussion before planning a pregnancy. They can provide more specific advice and guidance on an individual basis. Key messages: Pregnancy may be considered in patients with stable, well-controlled myocardial ischemia under the guidance of a physician, but comprehensive risk assessment and close monitoring are required to ensure the safety of both mother and fetus.
