Abstract

A 32-year-old woman with a large cardiac hamartoma was referred to our institution's cardio-obstetrics group for preconception counseling. Results of hemodynamic testing revealed restrictive physiology. This case highlights the role of multimodality testing in predicting the hemodynamic consequences of pregnancy in the setting of high-risk cardiovascular conditions.

Keywords: cardiac hamartoma; preconception counseling; pregnancy; restrictive cardiomyopathy.
