SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH, ARRHYTHMIAS, PERIPARTUM CARDIOMYOPATHY
Patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) are at increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). However, the exact underlying mechanisms of SCD in PPCM remain unknown. By means of extended electrocardiographic monitoring, we aimed to systematically characterize the burden of arrhythmias occurring in patients with newly diagnosed PPCM.
