May support immune involvement in idiopathic cardiomyopathy; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Is bound gamma globulin localized in the ventricles of patients with idiopathic disease of the myocardium compared to controls?
This study investigates the infectious-immune basis of idiopathic disease of the myocardium by examining bound gamma globulin.
Vernon Sanders (1965) studied this question.
