Yes peripartum cardiomyopathy is reversible in some , but not in all. Stop breast feeding. Take proper medication and regular follow up.
Chance of recovery is good in 60-70% of people , some may have residual dysfunction.
There is chance of recurring is more in next pregnancy .
Schould not go for next pregnancy for next 3yrs.
After that after consulting doctor and discuss about next pregnaancy and risk.
