Taking ACTION to detect myocarditis related to recombinant gene transfer therapy for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy; Consensus recommendations for cardiac surveillance Open
Background: A viral vector recombinant gene transfer therapy (GTT) has recently been approved by the FDA for males of all ages with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) without limitations regarding preexisting cardiac impairment. Acute myoca…

Boys With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Have Diastolic Dysfunction Based on CMR Open
BACKGROUND: Cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of death in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). While cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is routinely used to assess fibrosis and left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, CMR measures …

Effect of body mass index on exercise capacity following pediatric heart transplantation Open
Background Obesity and impaired exercise tolerance following heart transplantation increase the risk of post‐transplant morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of body mass index on markers of exercise cap…

Rate of Change in Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Measures Is Associated With Death in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Open
Background Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Identifying patients at risk of early death could allow for increased monitoring and more intensive therapy. Measures th…

Right Ventricular Remodeling Assessed by <span>MRI</span> in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Open
Background In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), the right ventricle (RV) tends to be relatively well preserved, but characterization remains difficult due to its complex architecture. Tissue phase mapping (TPM) is a phase contrast cine MR…

Electrocardiograms for cardiomyopathy risk stratification in children with anthracycline exposure Open
In children receiving anthracyclines, decrease in ΣQRS(6 L) and QTc prolongation are associated with increased risk of developing cardiomyopathy. ECG is a potential non-invasive risk stratification tool for prediction of anthracycline-indu…
