Abstract
Over 3 generations, several members of a family suffered from cardiomyopathy exhibiting, primarily, rhythm and conduction disturbances and, eventually, congestive heart failure. Certain serum enzymes (SGOT [serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase], SGPT [serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase] and LDH [lactic dehydrogenase]) were elevated. The clinical examination indicated a progressive deterioration with increasing age of the patients, a more serious course in the male members of the family, and the frequent association of mental retardation.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
