The authors, having studied a case of Meadows syndrome, confirm that this cardiomyopathy is a specific entity in pregnancy and the puerperium. They point out the difficulties in diagnosis, as Meadows syndrome seems to be diagnosis of elimination. They point out that a paraclinical balance has to be drawn up very fully on the biological and haemodynamic planes to confirm this condition. Finally, after a short discussion about the therapy, they tackle the problem of the prognosis for life and for future childbearing in these patients, which is determined by the persistence or absence of cardiac enlargement.
作者们在研究了一例梅多斯综合征病例后，证实这种心肌病是妊娠和产褥期的一种特定病症。他们指出了诊断中的困难，因为梅多斯综合征似乎是一种排除性诊断。他们指出，必须在生物学和血液动力学层面非常全面地进行辅助检查以确诊这种病症。最后，在简短讨论了治疗方法后，他们探讨了这些患者的生命预后以及未来生育问题，这取决于心脏扩大是否持续存在。
