[Smokers' mitochondrial cardiomyopathy].
The authors analyze the metabolic background of mitochondrial myopathies of the skeletal musculature in humans. They summarize their results assembled over years pertaining to functional disorders of mitochondria of the heart muscle in experimental models of passive smoking in rabbits. Based on comparison of these disorders with disorders in mitochondrial myopathies they reach the conclusion that the concept of smokers' mitochondrial myopathy is justified.
