<strong>Introduction:</strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a heart failure whose etiology is still unknown. </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The a</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">im</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">of work was to study peripartum cardiomyopathy in its epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical and therapeutic aspects at the Tombouctou hospital.</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Methods:</span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> This is a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out in the Medicine Department of the Timbuktu hospital from January 1 to December 31, 2019. It concerned patients who presented heart failure between the 8th month of pregnancy and the first 5 months postpartum.</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Results:</span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">D</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">uring the study</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">,</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">23 patients were collected. Average age of the patients was 23.50 ± 3.50 years with extremes of 16 and 34 years. Incidence of Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) was 1/345 pregnancies. Average parity was 3.20 with extremes of 1 and 8. Symptoms appeared at postpartum with 87% of cases. A significant delay in diagnosis was observed. Global heart failure was the mode of decompensation with 70%. Electrocardiographic signs were mainly sinus tachycardia (87%) and left ventricular hypertrophy (83%). Cardiac ultrasound showed in all cases dilated cardiomyopathy and it was associated with thrombus in left ventricle cavity for three cases. Left ventricular ejection fraction was severely impaired in 70% of cases. Pulmonary hypertension was significant in 52%.</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">
