Research Abstract |
Some DCM (dilated cardiomyopathy) patients have autoantibodies against their heart, which we can remove from the body by immunoadsorption therapy. This study discovered a characteristic of the patient whom this therapy worked for well. When we completely removed autoantibodies from the body by this treatment, the cardiac function get better. Even if autoantibodies increase again in the body, and the cardiac function reverses, we may perform the immunoadsorption many times.
