Abstract

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and can be diagnosed during pregnancy. Cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of nonobstetric maternal morbidity and mortality. We present the case of a 26-year-old pregnant woman with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and an automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator and we discuss the most important therapeutic considerations in the management of these patients before and during delivery and in the immediate postpartum period.
