“…An association between pregnancy and heart failure was first recognized in 1849 1 . In 1935, Fraser 2 showed that heart disease was one of the leading causes of maternal mortality not due to obstetric complications. Peripartum cardiomyopathy is diagnosed when heart failure develops in the last month of pregnancy or within 5 months after delivery in the absence of other causes.…”

Peripartum cardiomyopathy is an unusual and uncommon form of dilated cardiomyopathy that is often fatal to young women. Fetal outcome, however, is quite good. The disease occurs in 250-1350 women each year in the United States. Myocarditis of viral, immunologic, or idiopathic etiology has been suggested. Diagnostic findings are consistent with congestive heart failure. Primary therapy consists of bed rest, sodium and fluid restriction, vasodilators, digoxin, and diuretics. Refractory cases can be treated with cardiac transplantation. Selected patients require anticoagulation. Prognosis depends on 6-month recovery of left ventricular function. It is important to emphasize that functional recovery does not denote total recovery of cardiac function; this is critical in terms of future pregnancies. This article presents the case of a young woman with peripartum cardiomyopathy and a review of the literature. (c)2001 by CHF, Inc.
