Abstract :Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a form of dilated cardiomyopathy, which is one of the potential life-threatening complications of pregnancy. Peripartum cardiomyopathy is observed between the last 4 weeks of the pregnancy and the postpartum 5th month. It is related to high rate of maternal and infant mortality. Although the underlying factor has not been clearly understood yet, many factors such as infections, myocarditis, immunological factors or oxidative stress caused by prolactin have been attributed. We aimed to discuss the emergency management of postpartum PPCM in our case report.
