Abstract

Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a rare and potentially dangerous form of heart failure presenting in women in the last month of pregnancy until five months post partum. The pathogenesis is believed to be multifactorial. This case report describes a young woman with adiposity and preeclampsia who was admitted to hospital and whose clinical condition quickly deteriorated. During the emergency caesarian section, the woman suffered a cardiac arrest and was successfully resuscitated. Echocardiography showed heart failure with an ejection fraction < 45% confirming the diagnosis of peripartum cardiomyopathy.
