DOI: 10.1186/s12872-020-01492-3
Abstract: Background Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is life-threatening heart disease. However, the causes and pathogenesis of PPCM remain unclear. Previous studies found that β1 adrenoceptor antibodies (β1AA) had possible involvement in the development of PPCM. In the… read more here.
