Lactate Dehydrogenase Isoenzyme Pattern in Myocardial Biopsies of Patients with Congestive Cardiomyopathy and with Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy — Clinical and Experimental Results

  • Conference paper
Myocardial Biopsy

Abstract

Considerable progress in the understanding of cardiomyopathies of unknown etiology had been expected by endomyocardial biopsy. The absence of any specific morphological features, however, makes a diagnosis of congestive cardiomyopathy (COCM) unsatisfactory and is of such limited value from the diagnostic standpoint [1, 2, 3], although there is generally a good correlation between the severity of the condition clinically and the extent of the morphological changes [4, 5, 6]. Thus by ultrastructural examination of the biopsy material an assessment of prognosis was attempted [7, 8, 9].
