Scintigraphic evidence for a specific long-chain fatty acid transporting system deficit and the genetic background in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract excerpt

The mechanism of cardiac uptake of long-chain free fatty acids has not been fully determined. We encountered a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patient who showed a lack of cardiac uptake of 2 different types of long-chain fatty acid analogues on the scintigraphic images. Flow cytometric analysis reve...
