Abstract excerpt
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe muscle wasting disease caused by the lack of dystrophin. Heart failure, driven by cardiomyocyte death, fibrosis, and the development of dilated cardiomyopathy, is the leading cause of death in DMD patients. Current treatments decrease the mechanical load on the heart, but do not address the root cause of dilated cardiomyopathy: cardiomyocyte death. Previously, we showe...
