Abstract

The article presents the second of a three part interactive case report of a 28 year old postpartum woman with discomfort on the right side of her chest. Further evaluation by a cardiologist of the woman was prompted because of the presence of cardiovascular risk factors and an abnormal electrocardiogram. Her thyroid functions tests were abnormal. A large area of reduced systolic wall thickening affecting the anterior septum and apex with dilation of the left ventricle was observed.
