Randomized Evaluation of Bromocriptine in Myocardial Recovery Therapy (REBIRTH) for Peripartum Cardiomyopathy
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare type of heart failure that can happen during the last month of pregnancy or within five months after giving birth, causing the heart to weaken and not pump blood well. Many women improve with heart failure treatment. This study is testing whether bromocriptine, a drug approved in the U.S. for other conditions but not PPCM, can help improve heart function in women recently diagnosed with PPCM.
