TI  - The Use of Bromocriptine for Peripartum Cardiomyopathy after Twin Delivery via 
      Oocyte Donation.

AB  - Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is rare but life-threatening. We herein report 
      the case of a 48-year-old woman with PPCM after oocyte donation and delivery of 
      twins. Two weeks after delivery, she suffered from severe symptoms of heart 
      failure [orthopnea, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class IV, pulmonary edema 
      and a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction of 18%]. Although standard heart 
      failure therapy was effective for diminishing the congestion, it was not 
      sufficient to improve her symptoms or left ventricular systolic dysfunction. 
      During admission, we added bromocriptine. A year later after the onset, she was 
      in a good state with an improved left ventricular systolic function.
