I was also told by a pulmonologist recently that I have mild restrictive lung disease. Is the EF bad enough to warrant drug therapy until an expected recovery. Women who truly have PPCM are at greater risk than the general population to get it with subsequent pregnancies, however it is still a small risk. Once you have a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan, you can discuss this with the cardiologist who is treating you. I hope this information is useful.
