Who WE are
Our Mission
PPCM Fund Inc. is a 501c3 nonprofit organization founded by PPCM. Survivors are dedicated to saving unsuspecting mothers and their families from Peripartum Cardiomyopathy. PPCM is a pregnancy induced heart failure... relatively unknown yet deadly heart disease surrounding new mothers. Shockingly, we have found that big-name ""ACOG" The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists DOES NOT support PPCM with PREGNANCY, DELIVERY, POSTPARTUM CARE, WOMEN'S HEALTH, PROCEDURES. AND PATIENT EDUCATION . We are on a mission to implement systems, spread awareness and further research & aid in the prevention of Peripartum Cardiomyopathy as well as provide support to the families that have been deeply affected as a result of PPCM. We spread awareness in order to save as many lives!
No mother needs to die, no child needs to be motherless.
Early diagnosis saves lives!
Our mission is to "Raise The Standard Testing and Labs" with implementing the NT-proBNP & EKG/Echo in every OBGYN office for ALL new moms!
The Pro B-Type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) Saves Lives!The (BNP) Saves New Moms From A Pregnancy Induced Heart Failure.
Every new mom must get an EKG/Echocardiogram in the 3rd Trimester
We Fight Against PPCM "The Silent Killer"
IPAC Research & Medical Centers
A leading research study group in North America, IPAC (Investigations of Pregnancy-Associated Cardiomyopathy), funded by the United States National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institution of Health (NIH), has documented improving full recovery levels of PPCM to greater than 90 % of victims when diagnosis can be made in the stage with less severe heart failure. IPAC’s work continues and is expanding its study from 30 to 50 medical centers in the USA and Canada, directed by Dr. Dennis M. McNamara, Cardiologist, at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Again, we believe that no mother should die from PPCM and that all PPCM mothers should fully recover. This goal is within our reach; but we need your help."
We want to know what causes Peripartum Cardiomyopathy on a molecular level. IPAC (Investigations of Pregnancy Associated Cardiomyopathy) case studies provide us with a leading-edge look into the underlying causes of PPCM and how to further prevent the disease. While the direct underlying cause is still unknown, there are ways to prevent full blown heart failure and mortality if caught in time. We are learning more and more everyday; with your generosity, we can help further the knowledge of trusted health care professionals to hopefully one day put to rest Peripartum Cardiomyopathy, not another mother, daughter, wife, partner.
