Longitudinal changes in cardiac function in Duchenne muscular dystrophy population as measured by magnetic resonance imaging

Abstract Background The lack of dystrophin in cardiomyocytes in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is associated with progressive decline in cardiac function eventually leading to death by 20–40 years of age. The aim of this prospective study was to determine rate of progressive decline in left ventr...
