PERIPARTUM CARDIOMYOPATHY WITH ACUTE RENAL FAILURE - a case report
Abstract
Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a rare and potentially fatal disease which presents with symptoms of heart failure , primarily due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction in the last month of pregnancy upto 6 months after delivery.30-50 of the patients recover without complications , with normal left ventricular systolic function. Parturients with peripartum cardiomyopathy require special anaesthetic care during labour , delivery and postpartum period. Medical management is similar to dilated cardiomyopathy with management tailored to choose safe drugs in pregnancy and lactation.
