Abstract
The mitochondrial cytopathies or oxidative-phosphorylation diseases are a diverse group of disorders that result from the structural, biochemical, or genetic derangement of mitochondria. Because mitochondrial dysfunction can affect the most highly energy-dependent organs, cardiac involvement is frequent in these diseases. To identify the clinical features of Kearns-Sayre syndrome, an entity associated with this group of diseases, we evaluated cardiac structure and function in 5 patients with Kearns-Sayre syndrome and followed the clinical course of these patients for 5 years.
