“…Broglin noted a rise in the transaminase level in 6 out of 20 toxemic patients. No change in SGOT level was noted by Crisp et al [4] in pregnant women with hypertensive renal disease. Meade et al [11] found no change in the a-hydroxybutyric dehydro genase and pseudocholinesterase levels during pregnancy.…”

“…Smith [13], however, ob served that 18 out of 100 normal pregnant women had an elevation of this enzyme. In normal pregnancy the serum transaminase level (GOT was found by Broglia [2], Crisp et al [4] and Meade et al…”

“…Meadows [ 141 in a review summarised the clinical and patho logical features as congestive heart failure, dyspnoea praecordial pain, triple rhythm, tachycardia, embolic phenomena, transient hypertension and electrocardiographic abnormalities such as T-wave inversion. Post partum heart disease seem to occur more frequently in the young primiparae and in those with multiple pregnancies [15], High maternal age is another feature [5]. The mean age in this series was 30.1 years.…”

“…In Case 2 of our series, symptoms, signs and ECO changes of anterior myo cardial infarction were observed,but serum aspartate transaminase levels were normal. Aspartate transaminase level is not affected in normal pregnancy, though it may be elevated in toxaemia of pregnancy [5]. Acute myocardial infarction is only rarely en countered in pregnancy.…”

“…(Tysoe and Lowenstein, 1950). There is evidence that normally the serum aspartate aminotransferase activity does not deviate, though it may be elevated in toxaemia of pregnancy (Crisp et al, 1959). Serum lactic dehydrogenase is a much less reliable index of myocardial necrosis, as it may be raised in normal pregnancy, and in particular during the puerperium.…”
