Sumario:Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a disease of unknown etiology which affects pregnant females during late pregnancy or during the first 5 months post-partum. The clinical presentation of these patients is similar to that of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Anesthetic management of such cases poses a challenge; due to the increased risk of various perioperative complications. We report the successful anesthetic management of lower segment caesarean section in a patient with PPCM.
