Lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes in the human hypertrophic heart.
Lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes have been measured in human hearts at autopsy. As compared with normal hearts, hypertrophic hearts and ischaemic hypertrophic hearts showed a shift in the isoenzyme distribution. This shift appeared to be more closely associated with an increase in the relative proportion of fibrous tissue than with changes in the myocardial cells.
