Management and outcome of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy in pregnant women: a case report.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common inherited cardiomyopathy, with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 500 people. Despite overall favorable outcomes with modern treatment and early diagnosis of disease, adverse complications could occur during times of physiological stress like pregnancy. Complications of HCM include sudden cardiac death, heart failure, and arrhythmia. We report the case of a 32-year-old pregnant woman with obstructive HCM, presenting with recurrent episodes of ventricular arrhythmia despite medical therapy. This case exhibits how close monitoring and proper management during pregnancy according to the latest recommendations, resulted in a successful and uneventful delivery.
