BMIPP SPECT images from a participant who showed improvement after administration of l-carnitine: a 70-year-old non-diabetic woman whose dialysis duration was 22 years. BMIPP summed scores were 28 before administration of l-carnitine (a) and 12 after administration of l-carnitine for one year (b). Left ventricular ejection fraction evaluated by echocardiography also improved, from 43 to 62% after administration of l-carnitine. Her baseline serum albumin concentration was 34 g/L.
