LIMITATIONS:
A limited number of patients were included in our study because PPCM is
a rare CM. This study was in retrospective case-control series design
and represented the single-center experience. The study included
patients referred to a tertiary HF center, so a number of patients’ data
were missing. Two radiologists re-evaluated CMR images, but in twelve
years, CMR imaging modalities’ quality has changed. All patients’ CMR
morphological features were evaluated, but 20% of the functional
analysis was missing.
