MODERN STRATEGIES OF INTENSIVE CARE FOR ACUTE HEART FAILURE IN PERIPARTUM CARDIOMYOPATHY
Keywords:
Diagnosis of AHF in PPCM in the ICU includes:Abstract
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare condition associated
with the development of acute heart failure (AHF) during the peripartum period,
carrying a high maternal mortality rate (6–10% within 6 months). Intensive
management of AHF in PPCM requires a comprehensive approach, including
pharmacological therapy, hemodynamic monitoring, and, in severe cases, mechanical
circulatory support. This article summarizes current data on the epidemiology,
pathophysiology, intensive care strategies, and prognosis of AHF in PPCM, with
emphasis on statistical findings and clinical guidelines.
