The mission for LetsTalkPPCM is to eradicate peripartum/postpartum cardiomyopathy as a life-threatening heart disease found in pregnancy by advancing research, treatment, education, short films, and awareness.
LetsTalkPPCM offers PPCM Workshops and Screening Training for birth workers and health care providers. We provide free PPCM Patient Advocate Support, BNP Blood Testing, and Postpartum Exams to help bridge the gap in this area.
We encourage women who've experienced: High blood pressure, Preeclampsia, Multiple births, Heart murmur, Hyperemesis gravidarum, Fertility treatments, Covid-19, and Family history of heart disease to request a BNP blood test during and after pregnancy.
Through PPCM screenings and timely intervention, serious problems can often be avoided.
