A member asked:
If a pregnant woman has cardiomyopathy is it dangerous and can it make it worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and yes.: Maternal cardiomyopathy is a severe condition that can prove lethal perinatally. Pregnancy typically exacerbates the chronic heart failure especially postpartum. Expert care by maternal fetal medicine, perinatal anesthesiology, intensivist and cardiologist is paramount to optimize outcomes. Avoid pregnancy and consider pregnancy termination in the first half, if severe heart disease.
