ABSTRACT
The authors, having studied a case of Meadows syndrome, confirm that this cardiomyopathy is a specific entity in pregnancy and the puerperium. They point out the difficulties in diagnosis, as Meadows syndrome seems to be diagnosis of elimination. They point out that a paraclinical balance has to be drawn up very fully on the biological and haemodynamic planes to confirm this condition. Finally, after a short discussion about the therapy, they tackle the problem of the prognosis for life and for future childbearing in these patients, which is determined by the persistence or absence of cardiac enlargement.
