title: [Obstructive myocardiopathy and pregnancy].
abstract: We report a case of pregnancy in a patient with severe obstructive cardiomyopathy treated with beta-blockers. A review of the literature shows that in spite of possible worsening of the functional symptomatology, pregnancy does not increase the risk of mortality. The recommendations for the conduct of the delivery are reviewed. The risks for the fetus are essentially linked to the treatment with beta-blockers and the possibility of inheritance of the condition.
