Article Synopsis
- The study investigates maternal and fetal outcomes in women who experienced peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) during their pregnancies and had subsequent pregnancies afterward.
- Out of 29 women studied, nearly half experienced maternal mortality, with low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) being a strong predictor of death and complications.
- The findings indicate that while some women may have recovery before subsequent pregnancies, the risks of severe outcomes remain significant, highlighting the need for careful monitoring of heart function both during and after pregnancy.

Coronarography could not be performed because of inadequate medical facilities.
