Cardiomyopathy is a relatively serious disease, and it is divided into different types, which can have different effects on patients. Some women may develop cardiomyopathy during the perinatal period, and it is necessary to receive timely treatment, otherwise it can easily lead to serious consequences. So, do women with peripartum cardiomyopathy need to be hospitalized?
If women suffer from cardiomyopathy during the perinatal period, they need to be hospitalized for treatment. Even if the condition is not very serious, it is best to be hospitalized for treatment, which can avoid the patient's danger. However, when the patient's condition is mild, the hospitalization time is relatively short. Timely hospitalization of patients can greatly prevent the fetus from being affected.
The length of hospital stay for patients should be determined based on their condition. If the cardiomyopathy is mild and does not cause serious complications such as respiratory distress, heart failure, or malignant arrhythmia, the hospital stay will be relatively short. If the treatment goes smoothly, patients can usually be discharged after 7-10 days of hospitalization.
If the patient's condition is severe and there are serious complications, they will need to receive long-term treatment, and the patient's hospitalization time will be at least 3 weeks, or even longer. After the patient's symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, wheezing, and palpitations have eased and disappeared, and various vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, pulse, and breathing have returned to normal, they can be discharged and go home.
