Background: The new coronavirus infection (NCI) COVID-19 in pregnant women occurs in various types from asymptomatic to extremely severe ones with the development of multiple organ failure and sepsis. SARS-CoV-2 infection occurs at the cellular level through viral binding to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors, the presence of which in the myocardium and vascular endothelial cells explains the mechanism of severe cardiovascular complications of NCI. The development of the latter has been demonstrated in few studies, whereas favorable outcomes for the mother and fetus in the presence of overall lung damage and acute coronary syndrome have not been reflected in the literature.
Case report: The article describes and analyzes the favorable outcome of extremely severe NCI Covid-19 in a pregnant woman with overall lung damage, the development of acute myocarditis and myocardial infarction in the postpartum period.
Conclusion: The timely referral of a pregnant woman with extremely severe NCI COVID-19 to the obstetric hospital of an infectious diseases hospital for patients with NCI COVID-19 for specialized medical care using a multidisciplinary approach, as well as the consideration of possible cardiac complications in this disease, their timely diagnosis and correction made it possible to effectively prevent an unfavorable outcome for the mother and fetus.
