This study describes the echocardiographic characteristics of a family with mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS). A 38 year-old man was admitted to this institution because of progressive heart failure accompanied by a hearing disturbance and diabetes mellitus. His angiogram showed normal coronary arteries and a deteriorated ejection fraction, and the two-dimensional echocardiograjn revealed symmetrical hypertrophy of both ventricles with severely reduced wall motion. Unusually fine sandy refractile myocardial echoes, which reflect the histologic findings of accumulated abnormal mitochondrias in the cells and interstitial fibrosis, are characteristic in cases of MELAS. Ultrasonic examination of the patient's mother and younger brother obtained the same refractile echoes in the thick left ventricular myocardium, although their global systolic function was not impaired. Point mutation of mitochondrial DNA(3243) was identified in the patient, his mother, and his younger brother.
