Improvement of left ventricular function in alcoholic cardiomyopathy documented by serial gated cardiac pool scanning.

Abstract

Serial gated cardiac blood pool scans showed a gradual return to normal left ventricular function over ten months in a 44-year-old patient who presented initially with severe alcoholic congestive cardiomyopathy. The clinical signs of left ventricular failure abated considerably before myocardial function improved objectively on gated blood pool scanning.
