Abstract EN
We report the case of a 42-year-old patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) who presented to the emergency department with severe shortness of breath one week following uneventful cesarean delivery.
Thoracic CT ruled out pulmonary embolus and confirmed pulmonary edema.
Asymmetric interventricular septal thickening was clearly identified, demonstrating that the heart may be evaluated even on a non-ECG gated study.
Acute pulmonary edema in the postpartum period is an unusual clinical presentation of HCM.
