Peripartum Cardiomyopathy and Women’s Heart Health

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a unique form of heart failure that occurs during late pregnancy or the postpartum period, often presenting with dilated cardiomyopathy and reduced ejection fraction. The etiology is multifactorial, involving vascular, inflammatory, and hormonal factors, including prolactin cleavage and oxidative stress. PPCM remains underdiagnosed due to symptom overlap with normal pregnancy changes, leading to delays in care and poor outcomes in severe cases.

Growing awareness has highlighted the importance of sex-specific cardiovascular research and tailored care strategies for women. Management includes standard heart failure therapies, but novel approaches such as bromocriptine are being studied for their role in modulating prolactin pathways. This track will discuss the pathophysiology, diagnostic challenges, and treatment advances in PPCM, while situating it within the broader context of women’s cardiovascular health. The session will emphasize the need for early recognition, multidisciplinary care, and global strategies to improve outcomes in affected women.
