Puerperal myocardiopathy complicating stimulataneous uterine and tubal pregnancies.
The authors point out the difficulty in recognizing puerperal myocardiopathy and the necessity for standardizing the diagnostic features. The patient described here was all the more unusual because of the coincidental occurrence of a second rare condition-simultaneous uterine and tubal pregnancies. Our data may add support to the theory that all ill-defined myocardial lesion resblts from an autoimmune response.
