Abstract
|
|
|
Postpartum cardiomyopathy is a relatively uncommon from of heart failure that affects the women in the puerperium. It is usually defined as a cardiomyopathy occuring in the puerperium. An additional criteria includes the absence of other
identifiable
cause of heart failure and the absence of other prior heart disease.
It is important to recognize that the prognosis for this disorder is poor, and that the mortality rate is generally ranged from 25 to 50 percent. Thus, postpartum cardiomyopathy should be treated promptly and aggressively.
We have experienced two cases of postpartum cardiomypathy, which are presented with a brief review of the literature.
