Does not support cabergoline use in peripartum cardiomyopathy; leaves open efficacy pending prospective trials.
Does cabergoline improve left ventricular function in a patient with peripartum cardiomyopathy?
Cabergoline administration in a patient with peripartum cardiomyopathy was associated with rapid recovery of left ventricular ejection fraction and reduction in NT-proBNP levels.
Jong et al. (2009) studied this question.
