Abstract
Introduction Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCMP) is an uncommon category of the disease characterized by increased ventricular stiffness with poor prognosis and no effective treatment in the presence of normal diastolic volume [...]
Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a rare type of systolic heart failure at the end of pregnancy or in the months after birth, affecting young women. Restrictive cardiomyopathy is a rare form of predominantly diastolic heart failure and is difficult to diagnose. To date, there has been no case report showing the relationship between restrictive cardiomyopathy and peripartum cardiomyopathy. In this case report, a 35-year-old female patient who presented with heart failure symptoms and was diagnosed with restrictive cardiomyopathy and history of peripartum cardiomyopathy will be presented. Keywords: Peripartum cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy, 'dip and plateau pattern' or 'square root sign'
