Abstract:

Pregnancy can worsen symptoms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and increase the risk of complications. Severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction with gradient >100 mm Hg poses a high risk of deterioration during pregnancy. We present a patient with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy in the third trimester of pregnancy with a left ventricular outflow tract gradient >100 mm Hg and discuss successful interdisciplinary management.
