volumetric changes of the heart and its left ventricle , as well as myocardial contractility were assessed in 50 patients with dilatation cardiomyopathy ( dcmp ) and 16 patients with acute alcoholic heart damage ( ahd ) , on the basis of roentgenologic ( cardiac shape and volume , left ventricular and aortic pulsation , respiratory volumetric variations , pulmonary circulation ) and echocardiographic ( end-diastolic size and volume , systolic increment of posterior wall thickness , ejection fraction and left-ventricular shortening ) data .
