Abstract:
:A 44-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of congestive heart failure. He had various symptoms caused by insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, sensorineural deafness, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and cardiomyopathy associated with mitochondrial DNA point mutation A3243G. Echocardiography had showed symmetrical hypertrophy of the left ventricular wall and normal cardiac function (ejection fraction 55%) at age 32 years. However, echocardiography showed cardiac transformation, consisting of posterior wall thinning and significantly reduced cardiac function (ejection fraction 11%), at age 44 years. Electrocardiography showed lowered R-wave in the chest leads and QRS widening. Both lactic acid and pyruvate serum levels were increased. Mitochondrial respiratory enzyme analysis in gastrocnemius muscle tissue indicated a partial deficiency of rotenone-sensitive NADH cytochrome C reductase. He was discharged from our hospital, and medically treated with coenzyme Q10(30 mg/day). He had no progression of cardiomyopathy or congestive heart failure. However, he suddenly died of lactic acidosis at age 47 years.
