PPCM Blog

After surviving breast cancer and enduring multiple miscarriages, Daniela’s dream of motherhood finally came true. But just weeks after giving birth, she faced a new battle: Postpartum Cardiomyopathy (PPCM). What began as typical postpartum symptoms quickly escalated to heart failure, forcing her into the ICU. Daniela’s journey is one of resilience, hope, and the power of early intervention in the fight against PPCM.

I was in heart failure, and no one saw it coming. Peripartum cardiomyopathy nearly took my life before I even knew it existed. That’s why I started The PPCM Pulse: to make sure no one else has to suffer in silence.
