[Myocardial contractile function of the left ventricle in the early stage of alcoholic heart lesion].
An echocardiographic study of 72 chronic alcoholic patients showing no cardiomegaly or heart failure demonstrated an impairment of local septal contractility in 44 (61.1%) patients, left ventricular posterior wall contractility in 35 (48.6%) and left ventricular pumping function in 21 (29.1%). Left cavity was dilated in 11 (13.8%) patients. These changes were more marked and frequent in cases of long years of alcohol abuse.
