A 19-year-old pregnant woman at week 32 of gestation was referred to our clinic with progressive shortness of breath for the further evaluation and treatment of high-risk pregnancy. Her complaints had been existing since her childhood. Two years prior to her admission, she had been diagnosed with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction due to cardiomyopathy and associated pulmonary hypertension. The patient had no family history of any cardiac disease. She had never smoked or drunk alcohol. Her clinical condition had deteriorated progressively with the pregnancy.
