Abstract
An unusual sequence of echocardiographic abnormalities of a 25-year-old female with acute myopericarditis was described.
She presented with shortness of breath and a high body temperature after the birth of her first child. Regional asynergy and increased thickness of the left ventricle were transiently observed by echocardiography. It is considered that these abnormalities resulted from inflammatory changes in heart muscle such as edema, which was ascribable to acute myopericarditis in the puerperium.
