Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a cause of pregnancy-associated heart failure. It typically develops during the last month of, and up to 6 months after, pregnancy in women without known cardiovascular disease. The present position statement offers a state-of-the-art summary of what is known about risk factors for potential pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical presentation of, and diagnosis and management of PPCM. A high index of suspicion is required for the diagnosis, as shortness of breath and ankle swelling are common in the peripartum period. Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a distinct form of cardiomyopathy, associated with a high morbidity and mortality, but also with the possibility of full recovery. Oxidative stress and the generation of a cardiotoxic subfragment of prolactin may play key roles in the pathophysiology of PPCM. In this regard, pharmacological blockade of prolactin offers the possibility of a disease-specific therapy.

There are several possible outcomes in peripartum cardiomyopathy. Some women remain stable for long periods, while others get worse slowly.. Others get worse very quickly and may be candidates for a heart transplant. About 4% of people will require heart transplantation and 9% may die suddenly or die from complications of the procedure.. The outlook is good when a womans heart returns to normal after the baby is born. If the heart remains abnormal, future pregnancies may result in heart failure. It is not known how to predict who will recover and who will develop severe heart failure. Up to about one half of women will recover completely.. Women who develop peripartum cardiomyopathy are at high risk of developing the same problem with future pregnancies. The rate of recurrence is about 30%. Therefore, women who have had this condition should discuss birth control methods with their provider. ...

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a type of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) that most often develops early post partum, although PPCM can also present up to 5 months post partum or in the final month of pregnancy.1 2 PPCM is a rare disorder, occurring in approximately 1 in 1000 to 4000 pregnancies in the USA, but higher incidences are reported in areas such as Haiti and Nigeria, where between 1 in 100-300 live births are associated with PPCM.1 2 PPCM is considered a diagnosis of exclusion and is characterised by new onset heart failure with a reduced (,45%) left ventricular ejection fraction, without any other identifiable aetiology.2 The disorder shares many features with DCMs typically encountered in older patients that are not related to pregnancy.1 3 Unlike DCM, however, most women with PPCM recover heart function either fully or partially in the span of months. PPCM nonetheless remains a leading cause of cardiac transplant and maternal mortality.1 2 Thus, rapid identification of PPCM and ...

Purpose of review: Peripartum cardiomyopathy ( PPCM ) is a disorder in which initial left ventricular systolic dysfunction and symptoms of heart failure occur between the late stages of pregnancy and the early postpartum period. Incidences vary geographically; it is common in some countries and rare in others. The acute form of PPCM is a clinical syndrome with reduced cardiac output, tissue hypoperfusion, and increase in the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure. Monitoring of the patient with the acute form of PPCM should be initiated as soon as possible. The syndrome carries a high morbidity and mortality and diagnosis is often delayed. This review focuses on new data and aspects in terms of diagnosis, causes of disease, pharmacological therapy, and management of delivery in patients with PPCM. Recent findings: New investigations reveal that PPCM is likely due to multiple factors. It develops based on oxidative stress leading to cleavage of deleterious 16-kDa prolactin, which can be blocked with

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a systolic heart failure that occurs during the last month of pregnancy or within 5 months after delivery. It is an uncommon disease of unknown etiopathogenesis and has a very high rate of maternal mortality. Because of similarity between symptoms of PPCM and physiological discomforts during pregnancy, the early diagnosis of PPCM presents a major challenge. Since hemodynamic changes during PPCM can vitally jeopardize the mother and the fetus, patients with severe forms of PPCM require a multidisciplinary approach in intensive care units. This review summarizes the current state of knowledge about the diagnosis, monitoring, and the treatment of PPCM. Having reviewed the recent researches, it gives insight into the new treatment strategies of this rare disease.

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a disease that predominantly affects Black African women. The history of peripartum cardiac failure in Africa dates to the 1960s, before the availability of echocardiography. With the availability of echocardiography in the late 1970s, studies on well-characterised PPCM began to be reported. To date, there is no population-based PPCM study in Africa. However, hospital-based studies have reported incidence rates as high as 1:100 deliveries in Nigeria and representing up to 52% of all cardiomyopathies. For reasons that are not yet very clear, there are obvious wide disparities in incidence and prevalence within and between African Countries. Likewise, prevalence of suggested risk factors for the disease vary widely between studies. However, the disease seems to be more common among the poor rural population. Clinical outcomes are much worse in Africa than in Western Europe and North America. Mortality rates as high as 24.2% at 6 months and 47.4% at 1 year of follow-up

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a form of dilated cardiomyopathy that is defined as a deterioration in cardiac function presenting typically between the last month of pregnancy and up to six months postpartum. As with other forms of dilated cardiomyopathy, PPCM involves systolic dysfunction of the heart with a decrease of the left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) with associated congestive heart failure and an increased risk of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, thromboembolism (blockage of a blood vessel by a blood clot), and even sudden cardiac death. In essence, the heart muscle cannot contract forcefully enough to pump adequate amounts of blood for the needs of the bodys vital organs. PPCM is a diagnosis of exclusion, wherein patients have no prior history of heart disease and there are no other known possible causes of heart failure. Echocardiogram is used to both diagnose and monitor the effectiveness of treatment for PPCM. The cause of PPCM is unknown. Currently, researchers are ...

Cardiovascular diseases are a major cause of complications in pregnancy worldwide, and the number of patients who develop cardiac problems during pregnancy is increasing.. Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a potentially life-threatening heart disease that emerges towards the end of pregnancy or in the first months postpartum, in previously healthy women. Symptoms and signs of PPCM are similar to those in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.. The incidence varies geographically, most likely because of socioeconomic and genetic factors. The syndrome is associated with a high morbidity and mortality, and diagnosis is often delayed.. Various mechanisms have been investigated, including the hypothesis that unbalanced peripartum or postpartum oxidative stress triggers the proteolytic cleavage of the nursing hormone prolactin into a potent antiangiogenic, proapoptotic, and proinflammatory 16 kDa fragment. This theory provides the basis for the discovery of disease-specific biomarkers and ...

Australia has a distinct classification system ( Table 2 ) 20 that takes into consideration the known dangerous events for the developing fetus, together with beginning defects, effects that will or will not be reversible, and problems later in life. The calendar is calculated based upon the date of the girls last menstrual period (LMP) and embody the expected date of delivery (due date), typically known as the EDC, or estimated date of confinement. Compared to the Chinese language being pregnant calendar, the ultrasound during the seventh or 8th month of the being pregnant is a more reliable technique to know the gender of the child. But Dolan stresses that the ...

Abstract: Progressive dyspnea following childbirth warrants a prompt suspicion into the diagnosis of peripartum cardiomyopathy, PPCM. Pump failure causes an inadequate cardiac output which ultimately contributes to PPCM high mortality rate; however early airway control, vigilant fluid balance and vasoactive support will substantially reduce the incidence of patients falling into decompensated heart failure. More importantly, it is imperative that these patients are cared in a setting where continuous hemodynamic monitoring is available. This case report serves as a reminder not to focus end-point therapy solely on blood pressure readings, but to observe signs and symptoms of hypoperfusion such as cold clammy skin, cool extremities, decreased urine output and mental status. ...

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is an often fatal disease that affects pregnant women who are near delivery, and it occurs more frequently in women with pre-eclampsia and/or multiple gestation.

HealthNewsDigest.com) - PHILADELPHIA-African American women were found to be twice as likely to be diagnosed with peripartum cardiomyopathy as compared to women of Caucasian, Hispanic/Latina, Asian, and other ethnic backgrounds, according to a new study-the largest of its kind-published today in JAMA Cardiology by researchers from the Perelman school of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM), a form of heart failure that occurs in the last month of pregnancy or up to five months following delivery, can be life-threatening. The new study is the first to pinpoint racial disparities associated with severity and effects of the condition.. Not only are African American women at twice the risk, but in this study we found they also took twice as long to recover, they were twice as likely to worsen before getting better after diagnosis, and they were twice as likely to fail to recover altogether, meaning their heart failure persisted for months following delivery, ...

This study aimed to reveal experiences of care in relation to symptoms and diagnosis in women with PPCM. Although the negative care experiences dominated in women, some positive experiences were also described. The findings showed that womens suffering was not only caused by symptoms of PPCM but also related to the care received. The main theme, exacerbated suffering, emerged from three subthemes: not being cared about, not being cared for and not feeling secure. The exacerbated suffering caused from the standpoint of women; misinterpretation of symptoms leading to delayed diagnosis led to a complex situation with expectations, trust and paradigm clashes between women and their attending midwives and physicians. Women suffered from the lack of care and the denied affirmation of suffering.. The results show that the focus of healthcare professionals is from a predominantly biomedical, and not holistic, perspective. It is difficult to say how much of the midwives and obstetricians responses are ...

Women who give birth via cesarean section (C-section) have an increased risk for developing specific infections, for example, postpartum endometritis and post-cesarean wound infection. Postpartum endometritis also afflicts women who deliver their babies vaginally, although it is more rare among this group. Further, all new mothers and women who breast-feed their babies should be aware of mastitis, which is an infection and inflammation in and around the milk producing glands of the breast. ...

Our study represents the largest and most comprehensive report to date on the characteristics and outcomes of end-stage PPCMP women who received durable MCS, providing insights that may be applied in clinical practice. We found that unadjusted survival of women who received MCS with PPCMP was significantly better compared with those with other heart failure diagnoses; however, this improvement in survival was likely because of younger age and fewer comorbidities.. PPCMP patients have unique characteristics compared with other forms of cardiomyopathy. It occurs with higher frequency among blacks and with a lower incidence in Hispanics.4 Our report shows that 55% of patients with PPCMP who received durable MCS were blacks, and PPCPM is the cause of 13% of MCS implants in this population. The higher frequency of MCS in black women with PPCMP could be explained not only by its higher prevalence but maybe also because of the worse prognosis observed in blacks affected with this disease.18 Patients ...

The National Cancer Registry of Ireland has released its 22nd annual statistical report. This report summarises cancer incidence, mortality and survival in Ireland for the period 1994-2015, and provides projected estimates for incidence for the most recent three-year period: 2015-2017. The cumulative lifetime risk (to age 75 years) of an invasive cancer diagnosis was approximately 1 in 3 for men and 1 in 4 for women. The absolute risk difference between the most and least deprived 20% of the population was highest for pancreatic (+14%), lung (+9%), colon (+8%), oesophageal (+8%), and ovarian cancers (+7%). Age-standardized rates of all invasive cancers (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC)) were 26% higher in men than in women. Overall, taking the first recorded invasive cancer (exc. NMSC) for each patient, the proportion of cases presenting as an emergency was 15% (of all cases whose admission type was known). The cancers with the highest proportion of emergency presentation were: pancreas ...

A year ago today this was my Facebook status: The saga of The Browns versus 2016 continues... So today I went to the Urgent Care for a bladder infection. Turns out my pulse was abnormally high. So they did a EKG which ended up being abnormal from there they took me to the ER for more testing. I am now in observation at the hospital for what the Dr believes (by process of elimination) is postpartum myocardial myopathy. Easiest explanation is that my heart is weak which in turn is causing tachycardia. They are putting me on three different medications.

Heart related conditions come to a rise when women begin to experience their first signs of pregnancy. In itself, related ailments sounds daunting. If this sounds bad, there is more to the condition than just affecting the mothers body.. According to the US National Library of Medicine, maternal heart disease complicates at least 1% of pregnancies and is one of the major causes of maternal death. A rare type of heart failure called Peripartum Cardiomyopathy is a heart failure that occurs during pregnancy or immediately after delivery. The condition weakens the heart muscle and causes the heart to become enlarged. As a result, the heart cant pump blood properly to the rest of the body.. This is where pets could help.. Studies show that having dogs can make pregnant women, or any for that matter, less likely to have heart disease. This is because owners exercise more when walking, petting, grooming and even feeding their pets. This leads to better physiological condition, inducing lower blood ...
