Abstract

Noonan Syndrome: Cardiac Decompensation due to Severe Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy in Pregnancy

Lovell S, Bignami J, Bassiouini N, Yu L and Hameed A

Noonan Syndrome (NS) is an autosomal dominant condition affecting 1 in 1000 to 1 in 2500 individuals worldwide. While congenital heart defects are prevalent in 1% of the general population, 80% of people with NS have some form of congenital heart defect. We report a 26-year-old pregnant female with NS who developed pre-term labor and acute cardiopulmonary decompensation due to underlying hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM).
