[Alpha-interferon therapy: an echographic study of left ventricular function and a clinical assessment of cardiovascular complications].
1992
: Many side-effects of alpha interferon (alpha-I) therapy have occurred as a result of its widespread clinical applications. The hypothesis of alpha-I related cardiomyopathy is particularly interesting. Our study involved echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricular function and cardiovascular complications in 35 patients with chronic hepatitis treated with alpha-I at 20 MU/week for an average of 10.8 months. The results were compared with those of a control group. Of the values studied, only Max E V and the E/A ratio were statistically significant. No cardiovascular side-effects were found.
