NEW DATA. SAME URGENT MESSAGE.

This week, two major updates reinforced what maternal health advocates and survivors have been saying for years:

📊 CDC 2024 Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance Data: Cardiovascular conditions, including cardiomyopathy, remain the leading cause of pregnancy-related death in the U.S.

📘 The Lancet Seminar on Peripartum Cardiomyopathy (PPCM): Confirms PPCM as a major contributor to maternal mortality worldwide and highlights the “multiple-hit model” where genetics, pregnancy stress, inflammation, vascular dysfunction, and social factors collide.

Together, these findings tell one clear story:
➡️ PPCM is not rare
➡️ Symptoms are still being missed or dismissed
➡️ Early recognition and education save lives

For families, these are not just statistics, they are lived realities. Let’sTalkPPCM works to bridge research, clinical care, and community education so mothers are heard before it’s too late.

•Awareness must turn into action.
•Data must reach the bedside.
•Mothers must be believed.
