Why the study?
Do baseline hemodynamic and morphometric parameters predict recovery of cardiac function after abstinence in patients with alcoholic cardiomyopathy?
Do baseline hemodynamic and morphometric parameters predict recovery of cardiac function after abstinence in patients with alcoholic cardiomyopathy?
In patients with alcoholic cardiomyopathy, recovery of cardiac function after abstinence is associated with lower baseline pulmonary artery and wedge pressures, whereas morphometric evaluation of endomyocardial biopsy does not provide adjunctive prognostic information.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May aid recovery prognostication after abstinence; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Vecchia et al. (1996) studied this question.
