Abstract

Background: Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is an unusual and uncommon form of non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy that presents in the last month of pregnancy or within 5 months after delivery in the absence of other causes. The incidence of PPCM is 1 in 3.000 normal pregnancies with mortality rate as high as 50% to 75%. Etiology of PPCM could be many potential causes, including viral myocarditis, abnormal immune response in pregnancy and abnormal response to the increased hemodynamic burden of pregnancy. The occurrence of PPCM in woman with preeclampsia is a very rare case. This case series present two women with preeclampsia underwent Cesarean Section and suffered by PPCM. The limitation on data and the rarity of similar case cause difficulties in the management.
