Pregnancy

Pregnancy is possible for most women with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), but several issues should be discussed with the care team.

Those concerns include 1) risks to the mother with HCM in carrying a pregnancy, and 2) risks that the child might inherit the genetic mutation for the condition. 

You should make sure your obstetrician knows about your condition and coordinates your pregnancy and delivery with your cardiologist.
