Rest left ventricular function and contractile reserve by dobutamine stress echocardiography in peripartum cardiomyopathy
Aims: To assess whether contractile reserve during dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) can predict left ventricular functional recovery in patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy and to assess myocardial fibrosis by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in these patients. Methods: Nine patients with...
