Melatonin for heart recovery in peripartum cardiomyopathy
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding melatonin to standard care helps improve heart function and reduce inflammation in women with peripartum cardiomyopathy, a type of heart failure that occurs around childbirth. It may offer a new way to support heart recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman diagnosed with peripartum cardiomyopathy (heart failure related to pregnancy or childbirth).
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
