Abstract

Giriş:  Peripartum Kardiyomiyopati (PKM), gebeliğin son ayında ve doğumdan sonraki ilk 5 ay içerisinde, kalp genişlemesi ve kalp kasının zayıflaması sonucu ortaya çıkan konjestif kalp yetmezliği formudur.  Otuz yaş ve üzeri gebelik, multiparite, kronik hipertansiyon ve eklampsi PKM gelişiminde önemli risk faktörleridir.  Nefes darlığı, çarpıntı, halsizlik, alt extremitede ödem gibi hastalığın erken belirtileri, gebeliğin son dönemlerinde normal karşılaşılabilecek sorunlar olduğundan kalp yetmezliğinden ayırt edilemeyip erken tanı gözden kaçabilmektedir.  PKM tanısı anamnez, fizik muayene ve ekokardiyografi ile konur.

Vaka Sunumu: Otuzdört yaşındaki kadın hasta, bir aylık bebeğinin aşısını yaptırmak için aile hekimliği polikliniğimize müracaat etti. Hastanın nefes darlığı, çarpıntı ve öksürük şikayeti mevcuttu.  Özgeçmişinden iki sağlıklı doğum yaptığı, soygeçmişinde ise annesinin Primer Hipertansiyon ve Tip 2 Diyabet hastası olduğu öğrenildi.  Gebeliklerinde ve öncesinde herhangi bir hastalık veya ilaç kullanım öyküsü yoktu.  Fizik muayenesinde kan basıncı 120/70mmHg, nabzı ritmik ve 122/dakika, kalp seslerinde üfürümü yok, her iki akciğer bazallerde ralleri mevcut, batın muayenesi doğal saptandı.  Her iki alt ekstremitede ise gode bırakan ödemi mevcuttu.  Anamnez derinleştirildiğinde çarpıntısının doğumdan iki hafta önce başladığı ve postpartum birinci haftada artış gösterdiği öğrenildi.  Kalp yetmezliği ve pulmoner emboli ön tanıları düşünülerek kardiyoloji uzmanına sevk edilen hasta akut dekompanse kalp yetmezliği tanısıyla yoğun bakıma yatırılarak tedavi edildi.

Sonuç: PKM gebelikte sık karşılaşılan çarpıntı ve nefes darlığı şikayetlerinin nonspesifik olması sebebiyle erken tanısı güç bir hastalıktır.  Hastalığın 30 yaş üzeri annelerde daha sık ortaya çıkması ve günümüzde anne olma yaşının ileri yaşlara gelmesi sebebiyle birinci basamakta PKM’yle karşılaşma olasılığı artmaktadır.  Aile hekimleri düşük prevalansta görülen bu hastalığın risk faktörlerini sorgulama, semptomlarını takip etme ve uzmanına danışma yöntemleriyle üstesinden gelebilir.

A case of peripartum cardiomyopathy in primary care

Abstract

Introduction:  Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PKM) is a form of congestive heart failure that results from an enlarging of the heart and a weakening of the heart muscle in the last month of pregnancy and in the first five months of the postnatal period.   Major risk factors include pregnancy at >30 years of age, multiparity, chronic hypertension and eclampsia.   Patients suffering from PKM generally present with symptoms akin to heart failure, and the condition can be considered normal during the late period of pregnancy.  A diagnosis of PKM can be made from anamnesis, a physical examination and echocardiography.

Case Presentation:  A 34-year old female patient, visiting the family medicine polyclinic for vaccinations of her 1-month-old infant, was noted to be suffering from shortness of breath, palpitations and coughing.  There was no medical history of any disease or medication before or during the pregnancy.  The patient’s blood pressure was 120/70 mmHg and her pulse was rhythmic at 122/min.  There was no cardiac murmur, rales were present in both pulmonary bases and the results of an abdominal examination were normal.  Pitting edemas were observed in both lower extremities, and a further anamnesis revealed that the patient’s palpitations had begun two weeks prior to the birth, and had increased in the first postpartum week.  The patient was transferred to a cardiologist due to concerns of heart failure and a pulmonary embolism, and was then admitted to the intensive care unit for treatment with a diagnosis of acute decompensated heart failure.

Conclusion:  Given the higher incidence of disease in mothers >30 years, and the advanced average age of maternity in the present day, the odds of encountering PKM in the primary care is increasing.  Family physicians can overcome this low-prevalence of the disease by investigating risk factors, following-up symptoms and consulting experts.
