The cardiologist¡¯s role is to give the woman an estimate of both maternal and fetal risk to allow her to make an informed decision about embarking on a pregnancy, and to provide appropriate antenatal care. There are only a few data about the natural history of anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy during preg- nancy; we report our experience of a 29-year- old pregnant woman with a history of anthracycline-induced clinical heart failure. %K Anthracyclines %K Heart Failure %K Pregnancy %K Cardiomyopathy %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=3795
