[Two cases of peripartum XXXX ].

@entity1 @entity712 @entity296 @entity82 @entity384 @entity4 @entity6064
Two cases of peripartum @entity296 , a rare type of @entity384 , are reported. A 36-year-old @entity1 developed @entity712 1 month after delivering her third @entity1 . Cardiac catheterization revealed diffuse hypokinesis of the left ventricle and an ejection fraction of 28%. The second study, 20 months later, demonstrated an ejection fraction of 46%. Endomyocardial biopsy showed mild @entity4 . A 42-year-old @entity1 developed @entity6064 during pregnancy. She delivered her second @entity1 at 38 weeks of gestation. Two weeks later, she developed @entity712 . Cardiac catheterization demonstrated diffuse hypokinesis of left ventricle with an ejection fraction of 40%. Endomyocardial biopsy revealed dense @entity82 . Follow-up angiography performed 8 months later showed similar findings with an ejection fraction of 34%. These two cases suggest the importance of evaluation of endomyocardial biopsy to determine the degree of @entity82 that may reflect the prognosis for @entity1 with peripartum @entity296 confirmed by measurements of ejection fraction.
