CENTRAL ILLUSTRATION. Myocardial Recovery and Outcomes in Peripartum Cardiomyopathy: Baseline LVEF, Race, and 12-Month Outcome—Absolute LVEF and Change in LVEF From Baseline.

CENTRAL ILLUSTRATION

(A) Absolute LVEF at 12 months. The y-axis shows the LVEF at 12 months; the baseline LVEF is shown on the x-axis. A significant association was seen in blacks (p < 0.005) but not in whites and others (p = 0.44). (B) Change in LVEF from baseline to 12 months. The change in LVEF is shown on the y-axis and baseline LVEF is shown on the x-axis. A significant association was seen in whites and others (p < 0.0001) but not in blacks (p = 0.68). LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction.
