HOCM, LVOT, EchocardiographyAbstract
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is an inherited condition causing left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction, with a prevalence of 1 in 500. Widespread use of echocardiography has led to this disorder being increasingly diagnosed in pregnant women. Knowledge of HOCM is imperative for obstetricians. Pregnancy is generally well tolerated in HOCM but women who are symptomatic pre pregnancy or have significant LVOT obstruction can develop complications such as heart failure, arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.
