Abstract
This study was carried out to investigate clinical effects of treatment with the supplementation of L-carnitine in cases with dilated cardiomyopathy. B Mode, M-Mode, and continuous Doppler echocardiograms were applied with standard techniques in totally 28 patients assessed before treatment with L-carnitine and at the 1 st , 5 th , 10 th , 30 th , and 60 th days of the treatment. The diameter of the left ventricular endsystolic and end-diastolic have decreased with L-carnitine treatment (p
