AIM To estimate the efficiency of metabolic screening in children's cardiomyopathy. METHODS AND RESULTS Blood glucose, lactate, pyruvate and ketone body, and carnitine levels were measured in 58 children referred with a cardiomyopathy of unknown origin. Organic acids, amino acids, oxidation of [1-14C] fatty acids to CO2 and dehydrogenation of [9,10(-3)H] fatty acids by lymphocytes were measured. Mitochondrial respiratory chain complex activity was measured in skeletal muscle and in…

Orphan drugs in development for long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders: challenges and progress
TLDR
Together, these treatments have shown some improvements in individual case reports, but there is still a significant need for randomized controlled trials to investigate these therapies, given the ongoing need for improved treatments in these disorders.
Clinical Presentations of Mitochondrial Cardiomyopathies
TLDR
The clinical manifestations and interfamilial variability of patients diagnosed with a mitochondrial cardiomyopathy out of 59 patients with mitochondrial disorders who attended the mitochondrial disease clinic at Wolfson Medical Center from 1996 to 2001 are reviewed.
Fatty acid oxidation disorders.
TLDR
The FAOD are a group of autosomal recessive disorders associated with significant morbidity and mortality, but early diagnosis on newborn screening (NBS) and early initiation of treatment are improving outcomes.
Electrocardiography as an early cardiac screening test in children with mitochondrial disease
TLDR
Retrospective study on nonspecific mitochondrial encephalopathy patients with no clinical cardiac manifestations recommends active screening with ECG in patients with mitochondrial disease even in patients without obvious cardiac manifestation.
Mitochondrial disease is a common cause of severe cardiomyopathy in children
TLDR
Given the potential tissue-specific nature of mitochondrial disease, investigation of myocardial tissue should be considered in all children with cardiomyopathy undergoing invasive cardiac procedures, and no pathogenic mtDNA mutations were identified in patients with histochemical abnormalities.
Arrhythmias and conduction defects as presenting symptoms of fatty acid oxidation disorders in children.
TLDR
Inborn errors of fatty acid oxidation should be considered in unexplained sudden death or near-miss in infants and in infants with conduction defects or ventricular tachycardia.
Lethal Cardiac Tachyarrhythmia in a Patient with Neonatal Carnitine–Acylcarnitine Translocase Deficiency
TLDR
It appears that the correction of the acute metabolic derangements in this condition may not prevent rapid progression to death, and it is speculated that the choice of anti-arrhythmic agent in this patient may paradoxically have contributed to his death.
Lethal Cardiac Tachyarrhythmia in a Patient with Neonatal Carnitine–Acylcarnitine Translocase Deficiency
Carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase (CACT) deficiency is an inherited defect of the co-transport of free and esterified carnitine across the inner mitochondrial membrane. We report a case of CACT…
Carnitine Transporter Deficiency
TLDR
Primary carnitine deficiency must be considered in every child with emergency situation such as seizures, apnea, coma, cardiomyopathy, or episode of hypoketotic hypoglycemia, encephalopathy and Reye syndrome presentation.
Infants suspected to have very-long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency from newborn screening.

TLDR
A child presented in early childhood with episodes of coma and hypoglycemia and a rapidly evolutive myopathy and cardiomyopathy leading to death at 9 mo of age with a disorder of fatty acid metabolism that affects the liver, skeletal muscles, and myocardium.

TLDR
It is concluded that carnitine uptake studies in cultured skin fibroblasts are important for diagnosis, screening of siblings and heterozygote parents, understanding pathogenesis, and investigating the molecular basis of this disease.
Investigation of respiratory chain activity in human heart.
TLDR
The value of investigations on endomyocardial biopsies is illustrated in the case of two patients affected with mitochondrial cardiomyopathy and is discussed in regard to the tissue-specific nature of mitochondrial diseases.

TLDR
Examining mRNA and DNA from cell lines of eight additional infantile and three adult-onset patients and combining these data with those for previously reported presence or absence of GAA-mutant protein cross-reacting to antibody provide evidence for a minimum of six different mutations in these 14GAA-deficient cell lines.

TLDR
Quantitative cDNA expression of normal human VLCAD was performed in the patients' fibroblasts, using vaccinia viral system, which demonstrated that the deficiency of the normal V LCAD protein causes impaired long-chain fatty acid beta-oxidation activity in the patient's fibro Blasts.

TLDR
A large number of patients with atypical myocardial contractility with hypertrophy and dilatation of the heart are diagnosed with familial familial fibroelastosis, a cardiomyopathy of unknown origin.
