Breastfeeding in patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy: clinical outcomes and physician counseling.

Int Breastfeed J

October 2024

Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is heart failure occurring during late pregnancy or after delivery, leading to debates about the effects of breastfeeding on recovery.
  • A study analyzed 220 women diagnosed with PPCM, focusing on their lactation status and rates of heart recovery, finding no significant differences between those who breastfed and those who did not.
  • Most women reported receiving discouragement against breastfeeding due to their heart condition, highlighting a gap in supportive counseling regarding lactation options.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Myocardial fibrosis is one of the pathological characteristics of advanced diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) and serves as the strong evidence of poor prognosis. Among them, the transdifferentiation of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) may play a crucial role in the development of myocardial fibrosis in DCM. Tinglu Yixin granule (TLYXG) has been clinically used for many years and can significantly improve cardiac function of patients with DCM.

Pregnancy may be a challenging period for the maternal systems and has been regarded as a stress test, as imperceptible/mild dysfunctions eventually present may be exacerbated during this period. The cardiovascular system is no exception, and several morphological and functional adaptations accompanying pregnancy have been described. However, long-term pregnancy-induced cardiac molecular alterations remain highly unexplored.
