description | Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a potentially life-threatening pregnancy-associated disease that typically arises in the third trimester or up to six months postpartum. This case report focuses on a multigravida patient that has been pregnant a total of 12 times. The patient had no known past medical history apart from pre-eclampsia. Information related to this disease is scarce, and its pathophysiology remains poorly understood. This case report will further enhance scientific as well as medical literature by improving healthcare providers' knowledge and understanding of PPCM, which will ultimately improve patient outcomes through swift recognition and early treatment initiation. |
