Kaplan-Meier recovery curves, along with the 95% confidence interval for patients who received intravenous immunoglobulin and steroid treatment (dashed line) versus those who were treated with intravenous immunoglobulin only (full line). A, LVEF recovery. (Only 29 of 40 patients who had LVEF<55% at admission were included in this analysis.) B, IVRT recovery. (IVRT was measured at admission in 30 of 40 patients who all had sequential evaluations.) IVRT indicates isovolumic relaxation time; and LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction.
