Meadows syndrome is a rare pathology with a poor prognosis. Its etiopathogenesis remains unknown and its clinical, echocardiographic and histological signs are non-specific. The PPCM prognosis is dark and its evolution is unpredictable, sometimes favorable with complete remission, but often there is persistence or worsening of heart failure that can be deleterious for both mother and fetus. The risk of recurrence in subsequent pregnancies remains high despite apparent remission. Indeed, its fast evolution and its seriousness require a good knowledge of the diagnostic and therapeutic means in order to improve the prognosis of these young women.
