Introduction: Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare but potentially life-threatening disease defined by idiopathic heart failure towards the end of pregnancy or up to six months after delivery. 6–12 months recovery rates are 47–72% in recent cohorts, but data on longer term prognosis are few.
The Danish National Birth Register and the Danish National Patient Register were linked and searched for cardiomyopathy and heart failure ICD-10 diagnoses in a period of nine months before to 12 months after a delivery from 1 January 2005 through 31 December 2014. Diagnoses were validated and additional data were extracted from patient charts. A total of 61 women met the inclusion criteria equalling 1 in 10 149 deliveries.
