An ultrastructural basis for electrocardiographic alterations associated with Duchenne's progressive muscular dystrophy.
Electrocardiographic abnormalities were identified in 63 (84%) of 75 patients with Duchenne's progressive muscular dystrophy. A tall R wave over V1 with an abnormal R/S ratio was seen in 64% of the patients, a deep and narrow Q wave greater than 4 mm over leads I, V5, and V6 in 44%, sinus tachycardia in 32% and right axis deviation in 16%. Other ECG abnormalities included an abnormal PV1 index ...
متن کاملFrequency of cerebral infarction in patients with inherited neuromuscular diseases.
We evaluated the frequency of cerebral infarction in 131 patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy, Becker's muscular dystrophy, or Friedreich's ataxia. Electrocardiographic abnormalities were found in 83% of patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, 56% with myotonic dystrophy, 50% with Becker's muscular dystrophy, and 25% with Friedreich's ataxia. Atrial flutter occur...
متن کاملNon-Ischemic Cardiomyopathy Attributed to Adult Myotonic Dystrophy
In patients with myotonic dystrophy (MD), impairment of the conduction system is a common and progressive finding. However, only a few cases of MD with cardiomyopathy have been reported. Herein we report a case of MD with progressive non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and severe electrocardiographic abnormalities.

The hearts of three children who died with Duchenne's progressive muscular dystrophy and features of mitral valve prolapse were examined to find if the valve disorder arose from cardiomyopathy due to the primary disease or from dystrophic changes in th mitral valve itself. Gross, histologic and ultrastructural features of mitral valve annulus, anterior and posterior leaflets, chordae tendineae,...
متن کاملProgressive conduction disturbance in myotonic dystrophy.
Myotonic dystrophy (DM), the commonest dystrophy in adults, is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by a variety of multisystemic features. Two main genetically distinct forms of DM have been identified: type 1 (DM1), the classic form first described by Steinert, and type 2 (DM2), identified by Ricker. DM1 is caused by trinucleotide expansion of cytosine- -thymine-guanine (CTG) in the my...
