Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Manganese-enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance (MECMR) can non-invasively assess myocardial calcium influx, and calcium levels are known to be elevated in muscular dystrophy cardiomyopathy based on cellular studies. METHODS: Left ventricular functional studies and MECMR were per...
