Cardiac involvement in female carriers of duchenne or becker muscular dystrophy.

Muscle & nerve - 1 Jun 2017

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: The significance of abnormal cardiac measures in asymptomatic females who harbor dystrophin gene mutations is controversial. METHODS: Echo-measures of ventricular function were compared with published norms in a cross-sectional study of 130 (age, 39 ± 15.7 years) "carriers" of Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD). Correlations between cardiomyopathy (CM) and mutation, creatine kinase (CK)...
