Peripartum Cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a disease that affects women in their last months of pregnancy to the first month after delivery. It is a relatively rare disease, which can have devastating consequences and should be promptly identified and appropriately treated. Its diagnosis is a challenging task as it is often delayed because its symptoms closely resemble those of normal pregnancy and postpartum period. The disorder carries a high mortality rate, therefore requires vigilance. The aim of present case report is to describe the presentation and management of a case of PPCM so as to develop awareness because overall prognosis is good in majority of the cases if identified early.

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PCM) is a relatively rare disease with potentially devasting consequences requiring prompt identification and correct treatment. Overall prognosis is good in majority of the cases, although some patients may progress to irreversible heart failure. Early diagnosis is important and effective treatment reduces mortality rates and increases the chance of complete recovery of ventricular systolic function. The aetiology and pathogenesis seems to be multifactorial and poorly understood, with the available literature rather conflicting. In recent years, there has been increased interest in the role played by genetic predisposition in the development of PCM. It probably develops as a result of a complex interaction of pregnancy-associated factors and genetic factors and recently there have been many observations pointing out the central role played by a genetic predisposition. The direct and indirect observations on genetic susceptibility may offer new insights into the pathogenesis of PCM. However, larger studies are needed before advising routine genetic testing in these patients.

Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a relatively rare disease, which can have devasting consequences and should be promptly identified and correctly treated. Overall prognosis is good in majority of the cases, although some patients may progress to irreversible heart failure. Early diagnosis is important and effective treatment reduces mortality rates and increases the chance of complete recovery of ventricular systolic function.We report of an interesting case with a favourable outcome and discuss about the clinical presentation, therapy and outcome of this condition.
