Supports multimodal cardiac follow-up independent of skeletal or lung function in Duchenne muscular dystrophy; hypothesis-generating for optimal surveillance protocols.
Progressive cardiac dysfunction in Duchenne muscular dystrophy requires multiple non-invasive modalities for follow-up, as cardiac changes do not correlate with skeletal muscle or lung function decline.
Bäckman et al. (1992) studied this question.
