Abstract

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening form of heart failure occurring in late pregnancy or early postpartum period. Early diagnosis remains challenging due to nonspecific symptoms and limited access to echocardiography in primary settings. Artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled electrocardiography (ECG) has emerged as a promising, low-cost, and scalable tool for early cardiac dysfunction detection. This mini review explores the role of AI-ECG in screening and diagnosing PPCM, its current evidence base, limitations, and future clinical integration.
