There have been rare case series with familial clustering of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCMP). Due to the concomitant occurrence of PPCMP and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, it has been suggested that genetics might play a role in the pathogenesis of PPCMP. Herein, we report four cases of PPCMP in the same family, who showed full recovery of left ventricular function within a short period. < Physicians caring for peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCMP) patients should be aware that PPCMP may have a genetic background and guidelines for diagnosis of genetic cardiomyopathy should be considered.>.
有关于围产期心肌病(PPCMP)家族聚集性的罕见病例系列报道。由于PPCMP与特发性扩张型心肌病同时出现,有人提出遗传学可能在PPCMP的发病机制中起作用。在此,我们报告同一家庭中的4例PPCMP病例,这些病例在短时间内左心室功能完全恢复。<治疗围产期心肌病(PPCMP)患者的医生应意识到PPCMP可能有遗传背景,应考虑遗传心肌病的诊断指南。>
