Predicting poor left ventricular function recovery in Peripartum cardiomyopathy
INTRODUCTIONPeripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare type of cardiomyopathy that manifests as acute heart failure associated with pregnancy. Delays in early identification result in poor recovery of left ventricular (LV) function; however, no risk prediction model exists. We sought to yield a scor...

Summary: | INTRODUCTIONPeripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare type of cardiomyopathy that manifests as acute heart failure associated with pregnancy. Delays in early identification result in poor recovery of left ventricular (LV) function; however, no risk prediction model exists. We sought to yield a scoring system known as the Padjadjaran Peripartum CardioMyopathy Recovery (PPCM recovery) score to predict the probability of poor LV function recovery in PPCM patients.METHODSAll baseline and clinical parameters were prospectively collected from a cohort of patients with PPCM admitted to Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital in Bandung, Indonesia between January 2014 and December 2021. Logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate the relationship between each variable and the risk of poor LV function recovery in PPCM patients.RESULTSThis prospective cohort study included 113 patients with PPCM (84 recovered and 29 non-recovered patients). Significant mitral regurgitation (MR), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) |
