“…If symptoms persist longer than this, myocardial damage is more likely irreversible, although recovery can occur with optimal medical therapy up to and beyond 12 months (114,115). However, even in women with echocardiographically recovered ventricular function, contractile reserve may be impaired (116). Mortality rates range between 10% and 23%, with death being attributed to pump failure, sudden cardiac death and thromboembolic events (117).…”

“…One reported that the risk of irreversible cardiac damage may increase with each subsequent pregnancy. 13 Also, the contractile reserve is impaired, even though the left ventricular size and function return to normal in the prior affected pregnancy. 14 None of the multiparous patients in the study had a past history of PPCM.…”
