Peripartum cardiomyopathy
(PPCM) is an idiopathic cardiomyopathy presenting with heart failure (HF) secondary to left ventricular systolic dysfunction towards the end of pregnancy or in the months following delivery, where no other cause of HF is found.

Consequently, its diagnosis is frequently delayed, which worsens an already poor prognosis.
