Abstract
Endomyocardial biopsies from 75 patients were studied. The patients were divided into two groups: Group I included 33 patients with early congestive CM. In these patients, heart volumes were slightly or moderately increased, they showed marked ECG changes, enddiastolic volumes were slightly to moderately increased, and ejection fractions slightly reduced.
