## Abstract Studies on medical therapy in heart failure are focused on changes of left ventricular (LV) dimensions and function. These changes may be small, requiring a large study group. We measured LV parameters (LV volumes, LV ejection fraction (LVβEF), and left ventricular mass (LVM)) with twoβ
## Abstract ## Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate functional effects of immunoadsorption (IA) in patients with chronic nonfamilial dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) regarding clinical and humoral markers of heart failure. ## Background: IA has been shown to induce early hemody
Attempts were made to establish a possible relationship between enterovirus infection and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) by use of serology, virus isolation from faecal samples, and detection of enteroviral RNA in endomyocardial biopsies (EMB) by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Sera from 63 patie
Plasma selenium concentration is decreased in patients with cirrhosis and, based on this finding, it has been suggested that patients with cirrhosis are selenium deficient. We measured plasma selenium concentration and the two plasma selenoproteins, glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx-3) and selenoprotein
