OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the role of gene expression for predicting myocardial recovery in recent-onset cardiomyopathy.BACKGROUND Apoptosis may limit ventricular recovery. We examined the myocardial expression of Fas, Fas ligand (FasL), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1), and myocardial recovery in patients from the multicenter Intervention in Myocarditis and Acute Cardiomyopathy (IMAC) study.METHODS Endomyocardial biopsy samples were obtained in 20 patients with recent-onset (< 6 months) idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF]
