Peripartum cardiomyopathy presents with repetitive monomorphic VT and dilated LV at 38 weeks gestation.
Case Report (n=1)
This is the first reported case of peripartum cardiomyopathy presenting with repetitive monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in an asymptomatic pregnant woman.
Raises awareness for peripartum cardiomyopathy in pregnant women with monomorphic VT; first case extends spectrum but leaves optimal management open.
A 30-year-old asymptomatic pregnant woman at 38 weeks' gestation was noticed to have repetitive monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. A dilated left ventricle with moderately reduced systolic function was found on echocardiographic examination. To the best of our knowledge, a case of peripartum cardiomyopathy presenting with repetitive monomorphic ventricular tachycardia has not been previously reported.
