An Unusual Presentation of Peripartum Cardiomyopathy Complicated by a Pulmonary Embolism: A Case Report.

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare heart condition affecting women during pregnancy or up to five months postpartum whose incidence has been rising in recent years. It is characterized by a weakened left ventricle, which impairs the heart's ability to pump blood effectively. Although the cause remains unknown, PPCM is a crucial consideration when evaluating heart failure in women of childbearing age.

Diagnosis and risk stratification of coronary artery disease in Yemeni patients using treadmill test.

Based on clinical manifestation, CAD span from chronic stable angina to acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which encompasses (1) unstable angina (UA), (2) non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and (3) ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Objective: This study was conducted to describe the risk stratification and prognosis of CAD in Yemeni patients undergoing an exercise stress test.
