Curriculum-Based Workshops

---

Every missed Peripartum Cardiomyopathy (PPCM) diagnosis is a missed opportunity to save a mother’s life.

LetsTalkPPCM provides curriculum-based workshops designed to close the gap between symptoms and diagnosis, because too often, PPCM is missed until it becomes life-threatening. Our workshops are built for hospitals, birth workers, and maternal health teams who want stronger awareness, faster recognition, and better outcomes for postpartum and pregnant patients.

PPCM is frequently misdiagnosed as anxiety, postpartum fatigue, or normal recovery after childbirth.

These delays in recognition can lead to:

• Emergency heart failure 
• ICU admissions 
• Long-term cardiac damage 
• Preventable maternal deaths 

A Structured Curriculum, Not a General Seminar:

This is a clinical awareness training curriculum, developed from M.D.s, medical professionals, lived survivor experience, maternal health advocacy, and front-line education gaps identified in real patient cases. 

• What PPCM is and how it may develop
• How it presents differently than typical postpartum symptoms 
• Why it is often missed in early evaluation 

• Shortness of breath, swelling, fatigue, and chest symptoms 
• High-risk postpartum and pregnancy profiles 
• Overlap with preeclampsia and hypertension disorders 

• When to escalate concerns beyond routine postpartum care 
• When to consider cardiac evaluation 
• Understanding BNP / NT-proBNP testing in postpartum patients 

• How to respond when a patient reports symptoms 
• Patient-centered language for sensitive conversations 
• Reducing bias in maternal symptom reporting 

• Survivor-led case discussions 
• Misdiagnosis patterns and delay factors 
• Real-world clinical breakdowns for learning application 

• Integrating PPCM awareness into workflow 
• Improving postpartum monitoring practices 
• Strengthening referral pathways and follow-up care 

Participants receive practical clinical resources designed for immediate use.  

This curriculum is shaped by real maternal experiences, because behind every statistic is a mother whose symptoms were not taken seriously soon enough. It is also designed for real-world clinical environments where time, pressure, and patient volume demand clear, actionable tools, not theory alone.
