Abstract

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPC) is a rare condition that affects women in late pregnancy or shortly after delivery, resulting in ventricular dysfunction and heart failure. PPC can cause serious neonatal complications, such as prematurity and low birth weight, due to the maternal condition and the necessary treatments. The study suggests the need for more effective preventive strategies and multidisciplinary management to improve neonatal health outcomes.
