A 20 year old woman developed rapidly progressive heart failure 9 weeks after delivery. For a few weeks she was hypertensive. A severe systolic dysfunction with an EF of 12% was shown on echocardiography. She recovered on conventional treatment of congestive heart failure. Eventually she received bromocriptine con the basis of favorable literature reports. A follow up control at one year showed an asymptomatic patient, however severe systolic dysfunction with EF 18% was still present.

Palabras clave : Per partum cardiomyopathy; heart failure; bromocriptine.
