A member asked:
I am a pregnant african american woman, do i have a higher risk factor for postpartum cardiomyopathy

Is there a problem?: I am not aware that race alone is a predisposition. Uncontrolled hypertension prior to pregnancy would be a yes, or a pre existing heart condition.

Probably not: Unless you have a pre existing condition. Race alone is not a factor here.
