Abstract
|
|
|
|
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) and hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet values (HELLP) syndrome are rare conditions with unknown etiologies and are associated with increased maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. However, survival chances can be increased and full recovery may be achieved in patients who receive an early diagnosis and treatment. We report the clinical follow-up of a multiparous woman who developed HELLP syndrome on the second day of the postpartum period and PPCM on the 40th day and was found to have an incidental secundum-type atrial septal defect.
