Peripartum Cardiomypathy: A five year hospital-based analytical study

Methods: We reviewed all maternity admissions who developed cardiac or respiratory complications in the five year period, including those happened in the last four weeks of antepartum, intrapartum, or the first week of the postpartum periods. These have been drawn by diagnosis from the records departments, the labor room records and the ICU register and the information’s then transferred to special forms.
