Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Impulse-conduction abnormalities and arrhythmias are common in myotonic dystrophy (MD). This study was performed to determine whether a correlation exists between electrophysiological (EP) testing data and clinical status, heart function, or size of the DNA abnormality (cytosine-thymine-guanine sequence repeat). METHODS AND RESULTS: Eighty-three MD patients underwent invasive EP studies prompted...
