Diastolic Dysfunction PPCM in Patients With Documented Left Ventricular Systolic Function Recovery

Medical College of Wisconsin

Overview

The purpose of this project is to evaluate parameters of diastolic dysfunction assessed by clinical echocardiogram in patients who have had recovery of systolic function.

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Peripartum Cardiomyopathy Diastolic Dysfunction

Interventions

A clinical Transthoracic echocardiogramDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

A previously clinically completed transthoracic echocardiogram will be utilized to assess for diastolic dysfunction in the presence of normal systolic function for patients with previously diagnosed peripartum cardiomyopathy.

Eligibility

Sex: FEMALEMin age: 18 Years

Medical Language ↔ Plain English

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Female. 2. Greater than age 18 years at the time of peripartum cardiomyopathy diagnosis. 3. Adults with a current or prior diagnosis of peripartum cardiomyopathy and documented recovered of left ventricular systolic function. 4. Documented recovered of LV systolic performance defined as LVEF \> 50%. Exclusion Criteria: 1. No pregnancy history. 2. No diagnosis of peripartum cardiomyopathy. 3. Non-recovery of LV systolic function.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Report the incidence of diastolic dysfunction in peripartum cardiomyopathy patients with full systolic function recovery

Investigators will review and report incidence of remaining diastolic dysfunction for local patient population which have recovered systolic function.

Time frame: January 1, 2014 through September 1, 2019
