Key result
Cessation of excessive alcohol intake resulted in the normalization of cardiac chamber dimensions and left ventricular function in three cases of alcoholic cardiomyopathy.
Why the study?
Does cessation of excessive alcohol intake improve left ventricular function in patients with alcoholic cardiomyopathy?
Case Report (n=3)
Does cessation of excessive alcohol intake improve left ventricular function in patients with alcoholic cardiomyopathy?
Cessation of excessive alcohol intake can lead to the normalization of left ventricular function and cardiac chamber dimensions in patients with alcoholic cardiomyopathy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Abstinence may normalize LV dimensions and function in alcoholic cardiomyopathy; leaves open need for prospective confirmation.
Pavan et al. (1987) conducted a case report in Alcoholic cardiomyopathy (n=3). Cessation of excessive alcohol intake was evaluated on Normalization of cardiac chamber dimensions and variables of left ventricular function. Cessation of excessive alcohol intake resulted in the normalization of cardiac chamber dimensions and left ventricular function in three cases of alcoholic cardiomyopathy.
