The disease is relatively uncommon, but its incidence is rising. Women often recover cardiac function, but long-lasting morbidity and mortality are not infrequent. Management of peripartum cardiomyopathy is largely limited to the same neurohormonal antagonists used in other forms of cardiomyopathy, and no proven disease-specific therapies exist yet. Research in the past decade has suggested that peripartum cardiomyopathy is caused by vascular dysfunction, triggered by late-gestational maternal hormones. Most recently, information has also indicated that many cases of peripartum cardiomyopathy have genetic underpinnings. We review here the known epidemiology, clinical presentation, and management of peripartum cardiomyopathy, as well as the current knowledge of the pathophysiology of the disease.

We investigated whether analysis of the long-term progression, etiology and vascular risk factors could help to define optimal control intervals. Methods: We included 77 patients (age 51.1 ± 14.3 years) in one referral centre with an echocardiographyproven aortic stenosis (mean gradient >12 mm Hg) and a long-term follow-up of three echocardiographic examinations. Missing clinical data were supplemented by a questionnaire to the general practitioner. Two retrospective examination time intervals were defined as a second interval of <2 years (1.3 ± 0.4) and a first interval of >2 years (6.0 ± 2.4) dating back to the initial examination (maximum of 10.6 years prior to the last examination). Results: During 6.0 ± 2.4 years, the mean pressure gradient increased from 24.2 ± 13.6 to 38.1 ± 20.4 mm Hg (p <0.0001); respectively 2.1 ± 3.0 mm Hg/year in the first time period and 4.2 ± 8.2 mm Hg/year in the second time period (p = 0.049), for the entire population. According to severity, patients with mild or moderate aortic stenosis showed an increase from 2.0 ± 2.7 to 4.0 ± 6.6 mm Hg/year (p = 0.04) or from 2.2 ± 3.2 to 3.5 ± 10.9 mm Hg/year respectively (p = 0.66). The group with severe aortic stenosis had an increase of 9.6 ± 12.0 mm Hg/year (group too small for statistical analysis). During the total examination period, left ventricular mass index increased from 149 ± 60 g/m2 to 168 ± 63 g/m2 (p <0.0001), which corresponds to an increase of 3.2 to 7.8 g/m2 per annum (p = 0.52), and the relative wall thickness increased from 40.0 ± 8.5 to 43.0 ± 9.8% (p = 0.002). Ejection fraction remained stable and we found no correlation between etiology, vascular risk factors and progression of the disease. Conclusions: Progression of the mean pressure gradient in patients with aortic stenosis went from 2 mm Hg/year for mild stenosis, to 4 mm Hg/year for moderate stenosis. We found no correlation to conventional vascular risk factors. In patients with mild aortic stenosis and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, echocardiographic follow-up every 3 to 5 years, until a mean transvalvular pressure gradient of 30 mm Hg is reached, might be a safe and cost-effective follow-up strategy. In patients with more severe aortic stenosis, follow-up has to be more frequent.","PeriodicalId":73992,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Tennessee Medical Association","volume":"2 7582 1","pages":"1334"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70752385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
