- Abstract
Characteristic cardiac phenotypes are detected by cardiovascular magnetic resonance in patients with different clinical phenotypes and genotypes of mitochondrial myopathy. A normal left ventricle (LV) chamber size with a reduced ejection fraction of 34% and an enlarged right ventricle (RV) with decreased systole were identified by echocardiography. Further investigation by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) detected RV dilation, biventricular hypokinesis, and trace pericardial effusion.
