Peripartum cardiomyopathy is an idiopathic cardiomyopathy that most commonly affects women in the third trimester of pregnancy or in the first five months of the postpartum period. Peripartum cardiomyopathy is associated with a myriad of different findings on electrocardiograms. There is also a risk of supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and ventricular arrhythmias.
