Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is a heterogeneous disease characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy, which can lead to outflow tract obstruction and cause sudden death. Its current prevalence in Colombia is unknown, probably because it is underdiagnosed. Sporadic cases have been documented in the pregnant population, which makes its management a clinical challenge in this population group. We report the case of a pregnant patient with asymmetric septal hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, which showed with nonsustained ventricular tachycardia documented by the electrocardiographic Holter monitor. A cardioverter-defibrillator implant was performed as primary prevention of sudden death. The patient then completed her pregnancy without maternal or fetal complications.
