Proposed algorithm for the diagnosis of mitochondrial cardiomyopathies. CACT, carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase; CTPII, carnitine palmitoyltransferase II; FFA, free fatty acids; LCHAD/MTP, long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency; LHON, Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy; MADD, multiple-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies; MELAS, mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like episodes; MERRF, myoclonic epilepsy with ragged red fibers; MGA, methylglutaconic aciduria; NARP, neurogenic muscle weakness with sensory neuropathy; VLCADD, very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.
