Measurements of muscular strength in five groups of patients.PPPPPPPPPPThe groups included patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (group A), patients with chronic alcoholism who had normal left ventricle ejection fractions (group B), patients with dilated cardiomyopathy because of coronary heart disease (group C), patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (group D), and normal participants (group E). Muscle strength was measured in the nondominant deltoid muscle (see Methods). The statistical differences between the groups were as follows: group A compared with groups B, C, D, and E ( < 0.001, < 0.007, < 0.002, and < 0.001, respectively); group B compared with groups C, D, and E ( > 0.2, > 0.2, < 0.01, respectively); group C compared with groups D and E ( > 0.2 and < 0.01); and group D compared with group E ( < 0.005).
