Dr. Barouch, Expert in Peripartum Cardiomyopathy, Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology, discusses some of the important advances that have brought researchers closer to solving PPCM, what has been learned about this disease since 1992 and what still remains unanswered. She also discusses how we can start to make changes in the delayed diagnosis of PPCM, as well as some advice for women who have recovered from PPCM and are now faced with a subsequent pregnancy.
