Here we report an unusual development of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) in a parturient woman with preeclampsia. A 36-year-old nulliparous parturient woman underwent elective cesarean section for delivery of twins under spinal anesthesia.
Both preoperative workup and past history were unremarkable except for proteinuria and hypertension for 1 week. Approximately 4 hours after cesarean section, progressive orthopnea developed.
