title: [A full-term pregnant woman with non-compaction cardiomyopathy].
abstract: Non-compaction cardiomyopathy, a genetic primary cardiomyopathy, is being increasingly diagnosed. Pregnant women with non-compaction cardiomyopathy are more susceptible to complications, such as heart failure, arrhythmias and embolic events. This paper reports the case of a pregnant woman with non-compaction cardiomyopathy under treatment and asymptomatic, who received epidural analgesia during labor and delivery. The clinical course is described and a brief review is presented.
