title: A case of peripartum cardiomyopathy with a transient increase of plasma interleukin-6 concentration occurred following mirror syndrome.
abstract: Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is an unusual heart failure of unknown etiology that occurs during pregnancy or postpartum. Mirror syndrome is a characteristic of maternal edema subsequent to fetal and/or placental edema. We report a case of PPCM with a transient increase of interleukin-6 concentration occurring in the postpartum period of mirror syndrome.
