Myocardial enzyme activities in congestive cardiomyopathy

S E Barrie et al. Res Commun Chem Pathol Pharmacol. 1979 Feb.

Abstract

A number of enzyme activities concerned with various catabolic pathways have been measured in biopsy specimens of the left ventricle in patients with congestive cardiomyopathy and compared with those in patients undergoing surgery for valvar or congenital heart disease. The myopathic patients showed a diminution in glycolytic capacity, in hexokinase activity and in the capacity to transfer reducing equivalents across the mitochondrial membrane.
