A Change of Heart: Case Series of Peripartum Cardiomyopathy
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is an uncommon disease of pregnancy, occurring in about 1 in 2000 live births, and is characterized by the development of heart failure, due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction. It is associated with high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Cardiac disease is the leading cause of maternal death in the UK: PPCM accounts for about 17% of these. Clinical...
متن کاملImmunosuppression therapy in the management of peripartum cardiomyopathy: A case series and literature review.
Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a heart failure syndrome occurring late in pregnancy or during the early post-natal period. The pathophysiology of peripartum cardiomyopathy is not fully understood and various mechanisms have been postulated including an underlying inflammatory process. We here report four cases presenting with acute left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Three out of four of the p...
متن کاملCase Series: Spontaneous Relapse After Recovery From Peripartum Cardiomyopathy
Background Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a distinct type of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (EF) with variable outcomes. Rates of recovery range from 29% to 72% and mortality rates range from 0% to 25%. In studies, outcomes are often determined at 6 to 12 months following diagnosis, and many of those who recover stop following with cardiology and are lost to follow-up. Case...
متن کاملCase Report and Mini Literature Review: Anesthetic Management for Severe Peripartum Cardiomyopathy Complicated with Preeclampsia Using Sufetanil in Combined Spinal Epidural Anesthesia
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare entity, and anesthetic management for cesarean section of a patient with this condition can be challenging. We hereby present the anesthetic management of a patient with PPCM complicated with preeclampsia scheduled for cesarean section, along with a mini review of literature. A 24 year-old primigravida with twin gestation was admitted to our hospital w...
متن کاملPractical management of peripartum cardiomyopathy
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is an idiopathic cardiomyopathy that causes systolic heart failure (HF) in previously healthy young women. Despite latest remarkable achievement, unifying pathophysiologic mechanism is not well established. Considering close temporal relationship to pregnancy, the recent prolactin theory is promising. Abnormal short form of 16-kDa prolactin may be produced in th...
