Abstract

Peripartum Cardiomyopathy, a type of dilated cardiomyopathy, is a rare entity with increasing trend. The aetiology and pathogenesis of peripartum cardiomyopathy are still unknown. Although the mortality and morbidity rates are high, recognising this condition earlier and treating it with multidisciplinary approach has brought out a better outcome. We, hereby are reporting a case series of eight cases of peripartum cardiomyopathy reported in our hospital and their clinical presentation, echocardiography findings and their subsequent follow up.
