Abstract: 
Peripartum cardiomyopathy is an entity within the spectrum of heart failure that is related to pregnancy, which can debut with a clinical variety whose diagnosis in many cases is late.
Because the diagnosis is usually of exclusion, it is of interest to the physician, a high clinical suspicion is required to initiate management and avoid irreversible sequelae.
