Abstract

Postpartum cardiomyopathy is defined as a syndrome of cardiac failure occurring in the latter part of pregnancy or in the puerperium, without obvous cause and without prior evidence of heart disease. It is important to recognize the association of cardiac failure and pregnancy as a separate syndrome so that, once identified, peripartum cardiomyopathy can be treated promptly and aggressively. We have experienced one case of dilated cardiomyopathy in preterm twin delivery at 36th gestational weeks, which are presented with a brief review of the literature.
