It is critical that the diagnosis of peripartum cardiomyopathy is limited to women with congestive heart failure and decreased systolic function of the left ventricle in last month of pregnancy or within 5 months after delivery. Patients must have no pre-existing cardiac disease and no other cause for current cardiac dysfunction.

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare, idiopathic, life-threatening disease of late pregnancy and early puerperium, occurring in patients with previously healthy hearts. Risk factors include multiparity, age>30 years, African American race, multiple pregnancies, obesity, hypertension, and toxemia. Signs and symptoms of PPCM resemble systolic heart

Cardiology Clinics, 2012
In 1971, Demakis and colleagues established the term peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) and defined it by criteria based on the clinical profile of their patients. With the recognition that these criteria are arbitrary and that PPCM often presents earlier in pregnancy, the definition of PPCM has been recently updated by a working group on PPCM of the ...

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1989Abstract Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a rare disease of unknown etiology. Risk factors for its development include increased maternal age, black race, multiparity, twinning, malnutrition, toxemia and hypertension. 1,2 The mortality rates in the acute and subacute phases range from 30 to 60%.
