Contraception (birth control) is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

A case is reported of a 41-year-old woman who was hospitalized for coronary occlusion. Changes in the EKG and

increases in LDH, leukocytes, SR, and temperature indicated a coronary infarction. The patient and her family had

no history of coronary infarction, angina pectorus, hypertension, or diabetes. The patient had previously suffered from

nervousness and anxiety and had experienced pains in the left lateral side of the chest, which were diagnosed as

functional. The patient had used oral contraceptives for 3 months prior to the attack, and it seems probable that

there is a causal relationship. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT9T 1076-06)
