Abstract
Circulating autoantibodies against cardiovascular membrane receptors h ave been repeatedly demonstrated in a subgroup of sera of patients wit h idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. This short review summarizes the clinical findings on anti-receptor autoantibodies in patients with dil ated cardiomyopathy.
