AB  - A 26 year primigravida, 8 days after delivering a still born baby presented with 
      gradually progressive dyspnea from New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II to 
      class III over a period of 1 week. 2D-Echocardiography showed severely 
      compromised left ventricular systolic function with evidence of thrombi in three 
      different chambers of the heart. All the clots disappeared after an effective 
      anticoagulation therapy without any embolic complications. The hypercoagulable 
      state of the peripartum period and the severe biventricular dysfunction led to 
      the formation of clots. <Learning objective: This case underscores the importance 
      of careful screening of the right side of the heart in cases of peripartum 
      cardiomyopathy. In cases of doubt, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging can be 
      performed to determine the nature of the masses. This case also highlights the 
      importance of effective anticoagulation therapy and the need to be vigilant for 
      any thromboembolic phenomenon during the anticoagulation therapy.>.
