Heart Failure After Birth? What Black Mothers Need to Know

Black Maternal Health Week Spotlight: This week, we’re talking about a silent killer that’s affecting Black moms at alarming rates: Postpartum Cardiomyopathy (PPCM). Black women are up to 15x more likely to develop this life-threatening condition, and many are dismissed or misdiagnosed until it’s too late. In this episode, I break down what PPCM looks like, how to talk to your doctor, the stats we can’t ignore, and why more research, listening, and postpartum care are the solution.
