title: Long-term efficacy of dynamic cardiomyoplasty. Clinical, ultrasonic and haemodynamic evidence in one case.
abstract: We report one case of successful cardiomyoplasty in a 21-year-old male and its beneficial effects as assessed by clinical examination, Doppler echocardiography, phonocardiography, haemodynamic and angiographic evaluation at 1 year. Long-term efficacy of this procedure on left ventricular function was confirmed by these techniques.
