Melatonin for heart recovery after pregnancy-related heart failure
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding melatonin to standard heart failure treatment helps women with peripartum cardiomyopathy recover heart function and reduce inflammation. It may offer a simple, well-tolerated option to support heart healing after pregnancy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 45 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with peripartum cardiomyopathy (heart failure that happens during or shortly after pregnancy).
- Your heart's pumping function (ejection fraction) is 45% or below at the start of the study.
- You have not had heart disease or significant heart problems before pregnancy.
- You are not currently participating in another clinical trial and are willing to follow the study schedule.
