Children in the experimental group were administered 50-100 mg\/kg\/day oral L-carnitine (19 children) in addition to conventional treatment. Heart function was determined after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. After one year of treatment, heart function significantly improved in the experimental group compared with the control group. This means that oral L-carnitine supplementation may enhance the efficacy of conventional therapies in these patients.
