We report a parturient delivering vaginally at term with symptomatic congenital hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Epidural analgesia was used during labour and delivery and is likely to have made a useful contribution to the successful outcome. Although controversial, reported use of epidural analgesia during labour for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy parturients has been generally positive. A multi-disciplinary team approach, early anaesthetic assessment and a carefully managed epidural catheter inserted in early labour can optimize analgesia and minimize the stresses of labour and vaginal delivery provided the risks of reduced preload and afterload are minimized.
