Long‐term follow‐up in peripartum cardiomyopathy patients with contemporary treatment: low mortality, high cardiac recovery, but significant cardiovascular co‐morbidities

Abstract

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) establishes late in pregnancy or in the first postpartum months. Many patients recover well within the first year, but long‐term outcome studies on morbidity and mortality are rare. Here, we present 5‐year follow‐up data of a German PPCM cohort.
