Key result
Multidisciplinary cardio-obstetric management in a woman with left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy resulted in a successful term delivery of an affected infant without complications.
Why the study?
Scant data exist regarding the management of pregnant patients with left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy, and few cases report both mother and fetus simultaneously affected during the antepartum period.
Case Report (n=1)
Maternal left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy with a MYH7 mutation can be safely managed during pregnancy with multidisciplinary care, and prenatal diagnosis of fetal involvement is feasible.
Left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) is a rare form of familial cardiomyopathy attributed to failure of ventricular compaction during embryogenesis. Scant data exists regarding the management approach to pregnant patients with this condition. Additionally, few cases are reported in which both the mother and fetus are simultaneously affected by this condition during the antepartum period.

Eileen et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) in pregnancy (n=1). Multidisciplinary cardio-obstetric management and prenatal diagnosis was evaluated on Maternal and fetal clinical outcomes. Multidisciplinary cardio-obstetric management in a woman with left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy resulted in a successful term delivery of an affected infant without complications.
