Popis: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited autosomal dominant disorder with variable penetrance. Infants of diabetic mothers, metabolic diseases, antenatal steroid exposure and perinatal exposure to stress should be considered for the differential diagnosis of HCM in neonates and infants. Asymptomatic first-degree family members of patients with HCM must be screened. Here, we aimed to discuss familial approach to HCM in a case of infant of mother with HCM.
