It's Peripartum Cardiomyopathy Awareness Week, so LetsTalkPPCM!!!🎉
LetsTalkPPCM has created a PPCM screening test that can increase the chances of sooner detection in women with unknown PPCM genetics.
A BNP test is recommended for moms with High blood pressure, Preeclampsia, Multiple births, Heart murmur, Hyperemesis gravidarum, Fertility treatments, or Family history of heart disease.
This is a life saving 25 minute service:
1. Mom is greeted by our FNP & Doula
2. Mom is asked basic information and vitals will be checked
3. Mom will be given a PPCM screening questioner
4. FNP will order a blood draw after a physical examination
5. Our phlebotomist will take a quick sample and have it shipped to lab. (24hrs to 1 week wait)
LetsTalkPPCM offers free BNP blood tests and postpartum exams for moms who develop risk factors for Peripartum Cardiomyopathy (PPCM) in the DFW metroplex.
