abstract = {Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare condition characterized by heart failure secondary to left ventricular systolic dysfunction, occurring in women during the last trimester of pregnancy or within five months postpartum. Despite advancements in research, PPCM remains a life-threatening disorder associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality. The primary clinical manifestations of PPCM result from heart failure due to impaired left ventricular systolic function. This article reviews the epidemiology, etiology, diagnostic criteria, management strategies, and outcomes of PPCM. Additionally, we present a case of a 34-year-old woman with PPCM who achieved full recovery within nine months, underscoring the importance of early recognition, prompt treatment, standardized medication, and regular follow-up.},
