Pregnancy related complications in women with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a nationwide population-based cohort study
BMC Cardiovascular Disorders(2024)
Abstract
The impact of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) on cardiovascular and obstetrical outcomes in pregnant women remains unclear, particularly in Asian populations.
