Screening & Early Detection
3.7 million Americans have an undiagnosed heart condition.
Heart conditions can affect everyone, regardless of age, gender, or physical fitness, and can get better or worse as we age.
- LetsTalkPPCM is the world’s leading nonprofit PPCM organization representing the thousands of pregnant and postpartum women who have been diagnosed with Peripartum Cardiomyopathy. We advocate for patients, drive research breakthroughs, improve access to high-quality care, offer direct patient support, and empower people with trustworthy information.
- LetsTalkPPCM provides awareness, research, education, and healthcare assistance for patients and their families. By partnering with physicians, insurers, and home-based care providers, we elevate the patient experience and improve the quality and reliability of care that patients receive.
- LetsTalkPPCM is committed to supporting those affected by peri/postpartum cardiomyopathy today, while tirelessly searching for tomorrow’s cures. We advocate on behalf of the estimated 1 in 1300 women in the United States who will be diagnosed with PPCM and the 299,578 who will die from heart disease in 2021 alone. Despite increases in awareness over the past decades, only about half (56%) of women recognize that heart disease is their number 1 killer. Maternal mortality in the United States has doubled in the last 20 years, and PPCM is a leading cause of these deaths.
- PPCM heart screenings can be life-saving as many people don’t realize that their family history might be putting them at risk or that their blood pressure is too high. Screenings—looking for the disease before there are symptoms—can be vital in saving a person’s life. Through heart screenings and timely intervention, serious problems can often be avoided.
- We offer Pro-BNP Blood Testing and home Wellness Visits in Texas for women who may feel they are NOT being heard or just want peace of mind. BNP testing is recommended to detect or rule out heart failure, including diastolic heart failure. To provide earlier PPCM diagnoses to more patients, we need to confront today’s challenge: routine screenings fail to detect 3.2 million Americans who go undiagnosed from heart disease. Peripartum Cardiomyopathy can go undetected until it has progressed to an advanced stage where outcomes are often poor and treatment costs are high.
