Why the study?
The study was conducted to assess subclinical cardiac function impairment in Duchenne dystrophy (DMD) female carriers.
Does tissue Doppler imaging detect subclinical cardiac function impairment in Duchenne dystrophy female carriers compared to healthy controls?
Does tissue Doppler imaging detect subclinical cardiac function impairment in Duchenne dystrophy female carriers compared to healthy controls?
Asymptomatic female carriers of Duchenne muscular dystrophy exhibit subclinical systolic and diastolic dysfunction detectable by tissue Doppler imaging.

TDI-detected Sa reductions indicate subclinical impairment in DMD carriers; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
