CAI Continues to Award PCAP Funds for New Study on Peripartum Cardiomyopathy Outcomes
The CAI awards another new project with Patient-Oriented Cardiovascular Academic Projects (PCAP) Funds. Dr. Sara Matloub, internal medicine resident, and Dr. Sarah Thordsen, Assistant Professor, Department of Medicine/Cardiology, were awarded these funds for their project titled, "Peripartum Cardiomyopathy Outcomes in a Local Population." The study compares the population and outcomes between white and non-white subjects affected by peripartum cardiomyopathy.
The study consists of three aims:
- Determine the demographic makeup and clinical history of Froedtert Health’s Peripartum Cardiomyopathy (PPCM) population
- Determine if minority women with PPCM are referred to specialty care with the same frequency as white women
- Describe the differences in guideline directed medical therapy in white versus non-Hispanic/black PPCM patients
