Introduction: Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a life-threatening cardiomyopathy with left ventricular systolic dysfunction, in late pregnancy, during delivery, or in the first months postpartum, in women who have no previously identifiable cause of heart failure.

After surgery, the patient is admitted to the ICU , and then became worsening. Echocardiography was then performed and found a decrease in left ventricular systolic function, EF 35%, posterior anterior acinetics, mild MR. The diagnosis of PPCM was established. The therapy given is drugs and a negative fluid balance is created for this patient. On day 10, the patient showed improvement in left ventricular function with EF 48%. The patient is extubated from a mechanical ventilator and moved to the internal medicine inpatient room.
Conclusion: I Early diagnosis with supporting echocardiography as well as appropriate management in PPCM cases greatly determines the success of therapy in patients in the ICU.
