title: [Roentgeno-angiographic characteristics of congestive cardiomyopathy].
abstract: Twenty-one patients with congestive cardiomyopathy were examined by angiographic techniques. All the patients manifested a considerable decrease in the contractile and pump functions of the myocardium. The alterations were mainly diffuse in nature. However, the intensity of the hypokinesis of the different segments of the left ventricle was dissimilar. Morphological examination according to the endomyocardial biopsy data revealed the etiological heterogeneity of the group under study, which in addition to the patients with congestive cardiomyopathy proper comprised those with inflammatory and alcoholic lesions of the myocardium.
