| Core Tip |
Early recognition of peripartum cardiomyopathy is critical, as symptoms mimic heart failure and other acute conditions. Management includes guideline-directed heart failure therapy tailored to pregnancy/lactation, individualized hemodynamic and respiratory support, and mechanical circulatory support if needed. Bromocriptine may be considered in severe cases to improve left ventricular recovery, with concurrent anticoagulation due to thrombotic risk. Long-term care requires serial echocardiography, natriuretic peptide monitoring, and counseling on future pregnancy risks, as residual cardiac dysfunction may persist. |
