Description
INTRODUCTION Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is rare in most developed countries. However, it is relatively common in the Hospital Albert Schweitzer (HAS) district of Haiti (Unite Communautaire de Sante de Petite Riviere, Verettes, et LaChapelle) (1). PPCM is defined as the new onset of congestive heart failure (CHF) during the time from one month antepartum to five months postpartum without other explanation for CHF and with no prior history of heart disease (2). The HAS PPCM Project also requires specific echocardiographic criteria of left ventricular dilatation and decreased contractility (1). An incidence of PPCM in the HAS district of approximately one case per 400 livebirths has encouraged and made possible an ongoing intensive investigation of epidemiologic and immunohaematologic aspects of this disease in this population (1,3,4). This report describes the results of case-control studies and an expanding base of epidemiological field information about PPCM in the HAS district.
