L-carnitine Improved the Cardiac Function via the Effect on Myocardial Fatty Acid Metabolism in a Hemodialysis Patient.
Internal Medicine 2018 December 16
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 123 I-labeled β-methyl-p-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) before and after L-carnitine therapy, and the impaired metabolism was ameliorated. Taken together, these findings indicate that L-carnitine therapy improved cardiac dysfunction via the amelioration of the abnormal myocardial fatty acid metabolism, at least in part.
