[Comparative angiographic evaluation of the functions of the left and right heart ventricles in dilated cardiomyopathy].

The paper is concerned with comparative analysis of disorder of left and right ventricular function (LV and RV, respectively) in 30 patients with dilatation cardiomyopathy after coronography, left and right ventriculography, myocardial biopsy. Disorder of LV and RV contractility was noted, however in most cases LV dysfunction was more noticeable. Direct correlation was revealed between the gravity of LV dysfunction and heart failure, whereas no significant differences were noted between RV parameters and heart failure, IIA-IIB stages.
