Abstract
We determined the effects of L-carnitine on myocardial metabolism in 18 patients with angiographically-proven coronary artery disease, subjected to two rapid coronary sinus pacing evaluations. L-Carnitine converted lactate production to extraction and increased the percentage of free fatty acid extraction. These results suggest that L-carnitine may be of use to improve the metabolism of coronary artery disease patients.Entities:
