[Echocardiographic myocardial performance in the normal postpartum in black African women].
The authors have carried out a prospective ultrasound study of normal post-partum myocardial performance in black African women free from any systemic and/or cardiovascular disorder. The volume overload, reduction in ejection indices and increase in telesystolic constraint, which are significant essential changes observed immediately post-partum, return to normal values within two months. According to the authors, these disturbances reflect a transient change in myocardial function which expresses the potentially harmful effect of the natural changes during the normal post-partum phase.
