ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) developed from late pregnancy to five months after delivery. Women with PPCM have the risk of mortality or non-recovered cardiac function. We aimed to investigate women with PPCM in Taiwan. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
The retrospective study recruited patients with PPCM from January 2002 to October 2018 in a tertiary center. We evaluated the presentations, onset, associated conditions, maternal and fetal outcomes, follow-up cardiac function, and subsequent pregnancies. The clinical data were compared between antepartum and postpartum-onset of PPCM.RESULTS:
Thirty women were identified and seventeen (56.6%) patients were antepartum-onset. The delivery time, ranged from 26 to 40 weeks, was mostly at 35 weeks. Twenty-one patients had cardiac function follow-up and seven (33.3%) were non-recovered in six months. The associated conditions of PPCM included age >30, primiparity, preeclampsia or hypertension, obesity, twin pregnancy, and tocolysis. The maternal characteristics and associated conditions were not significant different, but early preterm (32.8 ± 3.6 vs. 35.5 ± 2.4 weeks, p = 0.042) and lower Apgar scores in one (7 vs. 9, p = 0.002) and 5 min (9 vs. 10, p = 0.005) were observed in the antepartum-onset group.CONCLUSION:
In conclusion, PPCM commonly occurred around 35 weeks of gestation, ranged from 26 to 40 weeks. Additionally, there were risks of early preterm and low Apgar scores in women with antepartum-onset of PPCM.Palabras clave
