Abstract
Peripartum Cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a form of idiopathic heart failure that develops most commonly in the last month of gestation or during the first five months post-partum. Here we present a case of successfully managed peripartum cardiomyopathy in a patient with preeclampsia with severe features with pulmonary oedema and intrauterine death of foetus. The patient was managed conservatively until stable along the lines of pulmonary oedema and preeclampsia with severe features keeping various other differentials in mind followed by which the diagnosis of peripartum cardiomyopathy was suggested by echocardiography. Termination of pregnancy was conducted by caesarean section following which both mother and baby were discharged in stable conditions.
