Post-partum cardiomyopathy.
A report is presented of a patient who developed signs of cardiac failure 6 weeks after the birth of her fourth child. Detailed cardiac investigation indicated the diagnosis to be post-partum cardiomyopathy, a condition more commonly encountered in Negro women and comparatively rare in this country. The aetiology and mode of presentation are discussed.
