Table 2. Management, outcomes, and secondary prevention of heart failure associated with PPCM and COVID-19.

This table shows that even though managing PPCM and COVID-19-associated heart failure may overlap, both still have differences in the management, outcome, and ways to prevent them.

PPCM: peripartum cardiomyopathy; HF: heart failure.

	PPCM	COVID-19-associated HF
Management	High threshold for cardiac devices, possible need for emergent delivery	COVID-19-specific therapy if in the window
Outcome	High chance of partial or full recovery	Appears variable; more data needed
Future targeted treatment/prevention	Bromocriptine? Counseling on future pregnancies	Vaccination
