[Central hemodynamic parameters studied by radiocardiography in patients with focal myocarditic cardiosclerosis and patients with congestive cardiomyopathy].

Indices of hemodynamics were defined using the method of radiocardiography in 25 patients with focal myocarditic cardiosclerosis and in 14 patients with congestive cardiomyopathy (CCMP). In most of the patients with focal myocarditic cardiosclerosis these indices did not differ from the control ones whereas in the CCMP patients they showed good correlation with clinical symptoms of heart failure.
