Risk factors for Peri-partum Cardiomyopathy

Posted By Cathy on April 15, 1999 at 13:01:54

I have been diagnosed as having had a moderate silent heart attack.  I am 35 years old and would like to attempt a pregnancy (my first). My doctor's have not discouraged me from attempting a pregnancy. My EF is around 50 and I have no symptoms other than frequent palpitations. My coronary arteries are normal, and I have no clotting disorders or other illnesses.  Does my prior history of silent MI put me at an increased risk for developing peri-partum cardiomyopathy?   What other complications could I be at an increased risk for ?
