PPCMP as Special Population - Women : Mean age 23-33. Approximately 60% are older than 30 years. - Age - Race : It has been described in Caucasians, African Americans, Hispanics and Asians. However, the incidence in African Americans is considerably higher.
PPCMP as Special Population : - 2.5 - 5 cases per each 10 000 live births. - 1 case for every 3186 women delivering a baby. - 1350 women in the US are affected each year. - Incidence • Clinical course : Recovery of LV function on medical therapy. - At 6 months 60% improve EF and 45% normalize EF. - Transplant rates 5-11%. - 5% of Transplant recipients have PPCMP.

Conclusions • Women with PPCMP represent an special population, who have improved survival after MCS. • Heart transplantation is achieved in < 50% of PPCMP patients who received MCS. • Explant due to recovery is rare in PPCMP.
Conclusions • Despite of over 20% of peripartum cardiomyopathy patients presenting in cardiogenic shock at the time of implantation, the 2 year survival of this cohort was greater than 80% at 2 years.! • This improved survival is likely explained by the fewer comorbidities and younger age observed in PPCMP women.
Conclusions • Unfortunately at 3 years, Heart Transplantation was achieved in less than 50% of peripartum cardiomyopathy women receiving MCS. • Despite the seemingly favorable environment for recovery (acute onset, younger age, Non-ischemic etiology) the recovery was disappointingly uncommon (6%).
