May a Relationship Occur Between Peripartum Cardiomyopathy and Restrictive Cardiomyopathy?

Abstract

Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a rare type of systolic heart failure at the end of pregnancy or in the months after birth, affecting young women. Restrictive cardiomyopathy is a rare form of predominantly diastolic heart failure and is difficult to diagnose. To date, there has been no case report showing the relationship between restrictive cardiomyopathy and peripartum cardiomyopathy. In this case report, a 35-year-old female patient who presented with heart failure symptoms and was diagnosed with restrictive cardiomyopathy and history of peripartum cardiomyopathy will be presented.
