Peripartum cardiomyopathy is an uncommon but lifethreatening disease that affects women in the last few months of pregnancy or within the first five months after delivery, without previous evidence of heart disease & with no other definable cause of heart failure.1 We present a case report of a 37-year-old patient with gestational hypertension & anterior placenta previa who developed pulmonary oedema intraoperatively and was managed postoperatively in the ICU and was diagnosed as peripartum cardiomyopathy on Echocardiography.
