Heart failure & cardiomyopathies
A novel score to predict left ventricular recovery in peripartum cardiomyopathy derived from the ESC EORP Peripartum Cardiomyopathy Registry
Authors' conclusion
A model which accurately predicts LV recovery at 6 months in women with PPCM was derived.
Study context
- Population
- Women with peripartum cardiomyopathy (peripartum state, HF signs or symptoms, LV ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 45%), ESC EORP PPCM Registry, 51 countries, 2012–2018465 with 6-month echocardiogram
- Participants
- 752 women
- Outcome
- LV recovery (LVEF ≥50%)
- Follow-up
- 6 months
Methodological detailsregistry, multinational registry, bootstrap internal validation
