Abstract

The pathophysiologic process of peripartum cardiomyopathy, a rare and potentially life-threatening condition, is not completely understood. One theory is a possible link between the development of preeclampsia and peripartum cardiomyopathy. These two conditions have been linked to significant mortality in peripartum or postpartum patients. Clinicians must be able to identify the two, their differences, and start appropriate therapies immediately.

摘要

围产期心肌病是一种罕见且可能危及生命的疾病，其病理生理过程尚未完全明确。一种理论认为子痫前期的发展与围产期心肌病之间可能存在联系。这两种情况都与围产期或产后患者的高死亡率相关。临床医生必须能够识别这两种疾病及其差异，并立即开始适当的治疗。
