A case of familial thrombophilia in the patient with complicated peripartum cardiomyopathy

[Notes from practice]

Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a thrombophilia-associated disease, which manifests with severe heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction in patients without pre-existing cardiac pathology, usually 1 month before or after the delivery. Clinical observations suggest possible role of underlying congenital thrombophilia in the development of thromboembolism and formation of severe heart systolic dysfunction in patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy. We presented a clinical case of multiple biventricular thrombi in 28-year-old primigravida with peripartum cardiomyopathy and genetic traits of hereditary thrombophilia, which resulted in the recovery of heart contractile function. In conclusion, we discussed common genetic polymorphisms to investigate the link between the hereditary thrombophilia and peripartum cardiomyopathy.
