Peripartum Cardiomyopathy

Peripartum Cardiomyopathy: From Pathophysiology to Management provides a comprehensive guide to understanding, diagnosing, and managing peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM). Covering the condition’s pathophysiology and heterogeneous presentations, the book aids clinicians in risk stratification and informs both acute and long-term management strategies. Structured figures, practical algorithms, electrocardiograms, echocardiographic and MRI images, and case studies throughout make complex concepts accessible. This reference is essential for researchers and healthcare providers caring for peripartum women, including obstetricians, general physicians, cardiologists, intensivists, and nurses managing heart failure patients.

Key Features:

• Includes structured figures, practical algorithms, and case studies to support diagnosis and management.
