Exercise Ventricular Reserve Among Women With a History of Peripartum Cardiomyopathy

Exercise Ventricular Reserve Among Women With a History of Peripartum Cardiomyopathy

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is associated with highly variable clinical outcomes. Small series suggest postpartum variation in exercise capacity and ventricular reserve. We describe limitations in exercise capacity and/or ventricular reserve in asymptomatic women who had recovered from PPCM and...

Zusammenfassung:Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is associated with highly variable clinical outcomes. Small series suggest postpartum variation in exercise capacity and ventricular reserve. We describe limitations in exercise capacity and/or ventricular reserve in asymptomatic women who had recovered from PPCM and underwent a detailed physiologic assessment by cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
