FIGURE 2. — Recovery of the left ventricular systolic function during in-hospital stay in the different groups. (A) A significant improvement of EF during the first 3 days was observed in the CS group (P = 0.005); in the IVIG group, in the discharge (P = 0.001); (B) The left ventricle ESD Z score decreased significantly during the first 3 days in the CS group (P = 0.04); in the IVIG group on discharge (P = 0.005); (C) The left ventricle EDD Z-score reduced significantly on discharge in both groups, IVIG and CS (P = 0.003, P = 0.02). CS, corticosteroid; ESD, end-systolic diameter; EDD, end-diastolic diameter; IVIG indicates intravenous immunoglobulin.
