Abstract:
We reported a case of preeclampsia complicated by acute stress cardiomyopathy following cesarean section at 37 weeks of gestation. The patient presented with chest tightness and suffocation two days after the operation and was considered as acute stress cardiomyopathy. The patient recovered and was discharged nine days after the surgery after a series of management, including non-invasive ventilation, vasodilation, lowing blood pressure, maintaining a negative fluid balance, anti-infection, and anticoagulation. Stress-induced cardiomyopathy during pregnancy and postpartum is rare, and cesarean section and preeclampsia may be the risk factors.
