Concentric hypertrophic remodelling and subendocardial dysfunction in mitochondrial DNA point mutation carriers†
4 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Hypertrophic remodelling and systolic dysfunction are common in patients with mitochondrial disease and independent predictors of morbidity and early mortality. Screening strategies for cardiac disease are unclear. We investigated whether myocardial abnormalities could be identified in mitochondrial DNA mutation carriers without clinical cardiac involvement. METHODS AND RESULTS: Cardiac magnetic resonance...
