%X Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is an uncommon disorder of the cardiovascular system and is linked to high rates of morbidity and mortality. It is an idiopathic condition characterized by left ventricular systolic dysfunction with an ejection fraction of approximately 45% near the end of pregnancy or immediately after delivery. Anesthesia management in these women is challenging due to low physiological reserve and potential negative effects on the fetus. To ensure that mother and child are supported safely through delivery, careful anesthesia control is required. Here, in this review article, we discuss the anesthetic implications in preoperative, operative, and postoperative phases in women with perioperative cardiomyopathy undergoing vaginal delivery or cesarean section.
