Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has become a key diagnostic tool in resource-limited settings. We report a case of severe left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction in the immediate postpartum period in a patient with severe pre-eclampsia and progressive dyspnoea at the end of pregnancy. In a setting with limited access to specialised cardiac imaging, POCUS enabled rapid diagnostic orientation towards peripartum cardiomyopathy and guided initial management. This case underscores the essential role of POCUS in emergency and critical care medicine in sub-Saharan Africa.
