Abstract
Peripartum cardiomyopathy is characterized by left ventricular systolic dysfunction during the last month of pregnancy through five months after delivery. Our case involves a 22-year-old female who was diagnosed with peripartum cardiomyopathy a few days after giving birth. She received medication management and had an external defibrillator placed. She was advised to have close cardiology follow up as an outpatient.
