Abstract: Patients on hemodialysis often have carnitine deficiency. We herein report a woman who experienced the dramatic improvement of cardiac dysfunction after intravenous L-carnitine administration. We also investigated the myocardial fatty acid metabolism using 123I-labeled β-methyl-p-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic… read more here.
