Abstract
Intensive study of peripartum cardiomyopathy in the Hôpital Albert Schweitzer district of Haiti has led to two possible prevention and control measures:
(1)
Promotion of family planning measures to assist women who wish to avoid the higher risk of disease and/or relapse seen with grand multiparity (defined as 5 or more pregnancies).
(2)
focused non-invasive cardiac ultrasound screening of higher risk women in the peripartum period to identify and treat asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction.
