Abstract
- About half of all cases of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCMP) have a positive family history. All first-degree relatives of patients with HCMP should be screened with echocardiography. The prenatal diagnosis of abnormal septal hypertrophy in fetuses of mothers with HCMP has not yet been documented. We report a prenatal diagnosis in a case of familial HCMP by ultrasonography which was confirmed by autopsy. Fetal echocardiography provides a valuable aid in diagnosis of familial HCMP.
