    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Obstetrics
    • Maternal Health

    Background:

    • Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare form of heart failure.
    • Its etiology remains largely unknown.
    • Onset typically occurs postpartum, within the first five months after delivery.

    Observation:

    • PPCM onset is uncommon during the last trimester of pregnancy.
    • A case of PPCM diagnosed postpartum is presented.
    • The patient is from Switzerland.

    Findings:

    • The case involves hemodynamically well-documented evidence of PPCM.
    • A comprehensive follow-up period of 6.5 years was conducted.
    • This provides extended data on the condition's progression.

    Implications:

    • This case contributes to understanding PPCM's clinical course.
    • Long-term follow-up data can inform management strategies.
    • Further research into PPCM etiology and treatment is warranted.
