Abstract

Abstract:

Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a type of idiopathic systolic heart failure that occurs in the third trimester or early postpartum period. The exact pathogenesis of this disease is unknown, and it has a higher incidence in women of African ancestry and those with multiparity, hypertension, or advanced maternal age. Clinical outcomes vary from full recovery to persistent heart failure requiring heart transplantation and even death. Echocardiography is the preferred and core examination method for peripartum cardiomyopathy. This article systematically reviews the value of echocardiography in the diagnosis, risk stratification, prevention of complications, and prediction of peripartum cardiomyopathy, hoping to improve the prognosis of this rare but challenging disease.

Key words: Peripartum cardiomyopathy, Echocardiography, Pregnancy
