A METABOLIC STUDY OF PROGRESSIVE PSEUDOHYPERTROPHIC MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY AND OTHER MUSCULAR ATROPHIES

[Progressive muscular dystrophy].

This paper describes the case of a young man with progressive muscular dystrophy who had supraventricular arrhythmias and intractable congestive failure. Hemodynamic studies and left cineventriculographic findings were compatible with a diagnosis of severe left ventricular failure. Coronary cinearteriography showed an abrupt ending of the artery to the sino-atrial node. At necropsy, a noninflam...

[Spinal muscular atrophies].

In the last few years there has been an increase in interest among neurologists and geneticists in the spinal muscular atrophies. With the advent of several relatively sophisticated diagnostic procedures many patients once thought to be suffering from muscular dystrophy have in fact been found to have spinal muscular atrophy. The spinal muscular atrophies may be defined as a group of inherited ...
