Abstract

Peripartum cardiomyopathy is the alteration of the cardiac muscle that manifests as heart failure and appears in the last month of pregnancy or in the first five months postpartum. The aim of the article was to describe the case of a 15-year-old adolescent with a history of peripartum dilated cardiomyopathy and a pregnancy. The patient came to the Intensive Care Unit because she presented with decay and slurred speech. Deviation of the labial commissure on the left side and decreased muscle strength of the right hemibody were noted. Among the family pathologic antecedents, he referred to the mother with arterial hypertension and the maternal grandmother who died of ischemic heart disease. The association between cardioembolic ischemic stroke and peripartum dilated cardiomyopathy has a poor prognosis, requiring surveillance of risk factors and patient follow-up, as well as intensive and early treatment.
