Peripartum Cardiomyopathy, a disease affecting the heart muscle, is the leading cause of maternal mortality, accounting for 23% of deaths in the late postpartum period.
Peripartum Cardiomyopathy (PPCM) affects people who are African American more often and more severely than those who aren’t.
Typically, women who are African American get diagnosed at a younger age and/or get diagnosed later in the postpartum period, when the problem has been called more severe.
A BNP blood test is recommended for moms who may have these common risk factors:
•High Blood Pressure
•Preeclampsia
•Multiple Births
•Heart Murmur
•Hyperemesis Gravidarum
•Fertility Treatments
•Covid
•Family History of Heart Disease
