The carnitine-associated alteration of myocardial fatty acid metabolism may be one of the molecular mechanisms underlying left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in essential hypertension. We tested the hypothesis that polymorphisms of the genes involved in carnitine transport, OCTN2, CPT1A, CPT1B, and CPT2, might be associated with LVH.
