Serum carnitine concentrations in patients with idiopathic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: relationship with impaired myocardial fatty acid metabolism.
We evaluated the clinical significance of serum carnitine concentrations in determining the severity of impaired myocardial fatty acid metabolism in idiopathic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We studied 56 asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients with HCM. Serum levels of free carnitine and acylcarnitine were measured by the enzymic cycling method. Myocardial scintigraphy with (123)I-labe...
متن کاملSevere disease expression of cardiac troponin C and T mutations in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
OBJECTIVES We performed genetic investigations of cardiac troponin T (TNNT2) and troponin C (TNNC1) in 235 consecutive patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) to evaluate prevalence of mutations and associated disease expression in affected families. BACKGROUND Recently, mutations in sarcomeric genes have been reported in DCM. However, the prevalence, penetrance, and clinical si...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence, clinical features, and pattern of inheritance of familial dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in heart transplant patients. PATIENTS AND METHOD Patients with idiopathic DCM who had undergone heart transplantation were invited to participate. Patients with alcohol abuse were excluded. A clinical evaluation, 12-lead ECG, echocardiogram, blood tests, and DNA extrac...
متن کاملcomparison of benefits from cardiac resynchronization therapy between patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy
background: cardiac resynchronization therapy (crt) is an effective treatment for patients with moderate to severe heart failure. however, 20-30% of patients remain non-responders to crt. we sought to identify which patients benefit the most from crt in regard to the etiology of heart failure. methods: eighty-three consecutive patients (62 men) who had a biventricular pacemaker inserted at tehr...
متن کاملElevated Serum Bisphenol A Level in Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine serum Bisphenol A (BPA) concentrations in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) as well as the association between serum BPA and several hormonal parameters in DCM patients compared with a healthy control group. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-eight DCM patients and 88 age- and gender-matched healthy controls were included. Serum BPA levels and sever...
