Ahmed Walid Anwar Morad; Peripartum Cardiomyopathy: The European Society of Cardiology classifies PPCM as a nonfamilial, nongenetic, idiopathic form of dilated CM.
The increased cardiac output related to pregnancy can lead to heart failure, and the increased heart rate in the third trimester can lead to ischemic events. The potential obstetrical complications include preeclampsia or other hypertensive related disorders, premature birth, and small-for-gestational-age births.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

20. Definition
2010 Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology
Working Group:
“Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is an idiopathic cardiomyopathy
presenting with heart failure secondary to left ventricular systolic
dysfunction towards the end of pregnancy or in the months following
delivery, where no other cause of heart failure is found.”
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is ≤45%.
24. Risk Factors
• The incidence is highest in women of African ancestry.
• In the United States. the incidence is 3 to 16 times higher in African-
American women compared with Caucasian women.
Other Risk Factors
• Pre-eclampsia
• Hypertension
• Multi-gestational pregnancies
• Older maternal age
25.
26.
27.
28. Pathophysiology
• The etiology of PPCM in not fully understood and is likely multifactorial.
• Suggested but no proven mechanisms include:
• Vascular/hormonal alterations
• Pregnancy-related hemodynamic stress
• Autoimmune processes
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Viral myocarditis
30. Diagnosis
Most women with PPCM are diagnosed after delivery, typically during
the first postpartum month.
Symptoms1 Signs1
Dyspnea
Chest tightness
Orthopnea
PND2
Fatigue
Tachycardia
Tachypnea
Pulmonary rales
Elevated JVP3
Peripheral edema
1A minority will present with shock, dysrhythmias, or thromboembolic complications
2Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
3Jugular venous pressure
31. Diagnostic Studies During Acute Care
Chest X-Ray Pulmonary vascular congestion
Serum BNP Markedly elevated1
ECG Non-specific; a normal ECG does not rule out PPCM
ECHO LVEF <45% (by definition), may also reveal
Multi-chamber dilatation
Function mitral regurgitation
Intracardiac thrombus2
1Serum BNP not elevated during pregnancy; minimally elevated in pre-eclampsia
2Ensure that the left ventricular apex is well-visualized to rule-out a thrombus
32.
33. Management: Heart Failure Therapies
• Treatment of heart failure during pregnancy requires special
modifications to ensure fetal safety.
• Following delivery most heart failure medications are compatible with
lactation
34. Management: Anticoagulation
Rationale:
• Increased incidence of LV thrombi and systemic thromboembolism
• Hypercoagulability of pregnancy
Recommendation:
• Anticoagulation is recommended in the setting of severely decreased
LVEF during late pregnancy and 6 to 8 weeks postpartum
• American Heart Association cutoff: when LVEF is <30%
35. Management: Anticoagulation
• Warfarin crosses the placenta and is avoided during pregnancy
• Low-molecular-weight heparin does not cross the placenta
• Both warfarin and low-molecular-weight heparin are considered safe
during lactation
40. Peripartum Cardiomyopathy: JACC State-of-the-Art Review. J Am Coll Cardiol 2020;75:207-221.
JACC: Executive Summary
• PPCM is an idiopathic condition with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction (ejection
fraction [EF] <45%) towards the end of pregnancy or following delivery, when no other
cause of heart failure (HF) is found.
• In the United States, incidence varies from 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 4,000. Risk factors for
PPCM include African ancestry, pre-eclampsia and hypertension, multifetal pregnancies,
and older maternal age.
• Etiology of PPCM is poorly understood. Existing studies suggest that PPCM is a vascular
disease, triggered by peripartum hormonal changes with prolactin breakdown products
having vasculotoxic effects. Genetic studies have identified pathogenic variants in the
titin gene in afflicted patients supporting a two-hit hypothesis.
APPENDIX 1
41. Peripartum Cardiomyopathy: JACC State-of-the-Art Review. J Am Coll Cardiol 2020;75:207-221.
JACC: Executive Summary
• Diagnosis is often delayed, as symptoms overlap those of normal pregnancy.
Echocardiography is needed for diagnosis, and intracardiac thrombi should be ruled out
when EF is severely reduced due to high risk for thromboembolism.
• Predictors of adverse outcomes include EF at the time of diagnosis (EF <30% is
associated with worse outcomes), African ancestry, obesity, pre-eclampsia, LV dilatation,
right ventricular systolic dysfunction, and LV thrombus. PPCM is associated with higher
recovery rates compared to other forms of HF, occurring as late as 2 years.
• Management must ensure fetal safety. During pregnancy and lactation, loop diuretics,
beta-blockers, digoxin, and hydralazine/nitrates can be used. Renin-angiotensin-
aldosterone inhibitors are contraindicated during pregnancy, but during lactation,
enalapril, captopril, and spironolactone can be used.
APPENDIX 1
42. Peripartum Cardiomyopathy: JACC State-of-the-Art Review. J Am Coll Cardiol 2020;75:207-221.
JACC: Executive Summary
• Early delivery or termination of pregnancy should be considered in case of hemodynamic
instability. Stable patients are delivered vaginally unless there are obstetric reasons for a
cesarean section. Postpartum risk of decompensation should be anticipated.
• Since prolactin has been implicated in the pathogenesis of PPCM, 2010 European
guidelines on PPCM advise against breastfeeding. However, a small study in United
States and data from an observational registry suggest that breastfeeding is safe.
• Data on risk for arrhythmias are conflicted. It is reasonable to consider wearable
defibrillators for women with new-onset PPCM and severe LV dysfunction until recovery
or until an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator is indicated.
APPENDIX 1
43. Peripartum Cardiomyopathy: JACC State-of-the-Art Review. J Am Coll Cardiol 2020;75:207-221.
JACC: Executive Summary
• Anticoagulation is endorsed by the American Heart Association if EF is <30% during late
pregnancy and up to 8 weeks postpartum. Warfarin is contraindicated during pregnancy,
but low molecular weight heparin can be used. Both of these agents are safe during
lactation. Novel oral anticoagulants have not been studied during pregnancy and are
best avoided.
• PPCM is the most common cause of cardiogenic shock during or shortly after pregnancy.
Nitroprusside should be avoided due to possible cyanide toxicity, and outcomes may be
worse with dobutamine. Temporary mechanical support has been used successfully and
should be considered early. Cardiac transplant in this population has been associated
with higher rejection rates and lower survival.
APPENDIX 1
44. Peripartum Cardiomyopathy: JACC State-of-the-Art Review. J Am Coll Cardiol 2020;75:207-221.
JACC: Executive Summary
• Contraception should be discussed as soon as feasible. Progesterone-releasing
subcutaneous implants or Mirena intrauterine devices are first-line choices and estrogen
should be avoided.
• If LV dysfunction persists, medications should be continued indefinitely. In those with LV
recovery, available observational data support continued therapy indefinitely. If HF
medications are stopped, they should be weaned in a stepwise manner with frequent
clinical and echocardiographic assessments.
• Appropriate counseling should be provided for patients considering additional
pregnancies. If LV dysfunction persists, women must be counseled about worse maternal
and fetal outcomes. Women who recover to EF >50% still have an increased risk for HF,
which may persist after pregnancy.
APPENDIX 1
45. Peripartum Cardiomyopathy: JACC State-of-the-Art Review. J Am Coll Cardiol 2020;75:207-221.
JACC: Executive Summary
• During subsequent pregnancies, women with PPCM should be closely followed with
serial clinical assessments, echocardiograms, and B-type natriuretic peptide levels from
prior to contraception until after delivery. Angiotensin-converting enzyme
inhibitors/angiotensin-receptor blockers and aldosterone antagonists should be
discontinued prior to conception and restarted after delivery.
