Abstract
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare, but life-threatening cardiac disorder which complicates pregnancy. However, the classical symptoms of heart failure can be masked - especially in obese women. Here, we present a case report of PPCM complicated with vitamin-D deficiency in a severely obese woman.
