Abstract
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare disease of unclear etiology with a frequent poor outcome, despite optimal medical therapy. Recent experimental data implicate a causal role of prolactin. We report a patient with PPCM who responded well to treatment with Bromocriptine in addition to standard therapy of heart failure.Entities:
