What's going wrong with this postpartum woman?

Abstract Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a left ventricular systolic dysfunction failure emerges during the antepartum or puerperal period, and can result in maternal death. Reported incidences are increasing and differing globally. Echocardiography is the cornerstone for the diagnosis. The immediate goals in acute management are the stabilization of the hemodynamic state, providing symptomatic relief, and ensuring fetal wellbeing. Emergency physicians should be aware of PPCM at the differential diagnosis of dyspnea in pregnancy related emergencies and play role in early diagnosis.
