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.
