California SCR20 designates February 2025 as Peripartum Cardiomyopathy Awareness Month.

California SCR20, introduced by Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh, designates February 2025 as Peripartum Cardiomyopathy Awareness Month. Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a form of heart failure that typically develops late in pregnancy but can occur up to five months postpartum. The incidence of PPCM varies globally, from 1 in 100 to 1 in 300 pregnancies in certain regions to 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 4,000 in Europe and the United States. PPCM is more common among mothers of color and those with a history of PPCM. Genetic mutations, such as titin truncating variants, may predispose some women to PPCM.
