Key result
Review examines how maternal age and parity relate to myocardial pathomorphology in peripartum cardiomyopathy.
Why the study?
This article examines the pathomorphological characteristics of the myocardium in peripartum cardiomyopathy, its mechanisms of development, and the possible relationship between morphological changes and maternal age and pregnancy parity.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
This theoretical review discusses the etiopathogenesis and potential relationships between maternal age, pregnancy parity, and myocardial pathomorphological changes in peripartum cardiomyopathy.
This article provides a scientific and theoretical analysis of the pathomorphological characteristics of the myocardium in cases of peripartum cardiomyopathy developing in the late period of pregnancy or the postpartum period, the mechanisms of disease development, and the possible relationship between morphological changes and the woman's age and pregnancy parity. The etiopathogenesis of peripartum cardiomyopathy is highlighted, including impaired angiogenic balance, oxidative stress, pathological prolactin breakdown, inflammatory processes, and the influence of genetic predisposition on myocardial structure.

Sh.Z. et al. (2026) conducted a review in Peripartum cardiomyopathy. Maternal age and pregnancy parity was evaluated on Pathomorphological characteristics of the myocardium. Maternal age and pregnancy parity are examined in relation to myocardial pathomorphological features and etiopathogenesis in peripartum cardiomyopathy, with no quantitative data reported.
