Recovery of left ventricular function in acute nonischemic congestive cardiomyopathy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Many young investigators are interested in cardiovascular (CV) outcomes research; however, the current training experience of early investigators across the United States is uncertain. METHODS:From April to November 2014, we surveyed mentees and mentors of early-stage CV outcomes investigators across the Un...
