Background—In myotonic dystrophy type 1, the association between mutation size (CTG
expansion) and the severity of cardiac involvement is controversial. Methods and Results …

Background and purpose Cardiac involvement is observed in about 80% of subjects with
myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and is mainly characterized by cardiac conduction and/or …

Cardiac involvement in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is well known. In contrast, the
severity and frequency of cardiac abnormalities in proximal myotonic myopathy (PROMM) …

Left ventricular hypertrabeculation (LVHT)/non-compaction is frequently associated with
neuromuscular disorders. Recently, LVHT has been detected in a 28-year patient with …

Abstract Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a multisystemic disorder characterized by
muscle weakness and multiple organ impairment, especially the eyes, lung, and heart. We …

It is unclear if the severity of cardiac involvement in patients with myotonic dystrophy (MD) is
related to the size of the CTG‐repeat expansion. This open, uncontrolled, observational …

Myotonic dystrophy is characterized by autosomal dominant progressive myopathy,
myotonia and multiorgan involvement. Two distinct entities are currently known: Myotonic …

BACKGROUND: Patients with myotonic muscular dystrophy (DM) are at risk for
atrioventricular block and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Noninvasive detection of diffuse …

The aim of this prospective noninvasive follow-up study was (1) to assess the progression of
cardiac involvement (CI) in patients with myotonic dystrophy (MD), Becker's muscular …

H cart involvement in myotonic dystrophy, the most common form of muscular dystrophy in
adult life,'is frequently found and has been extensively investigated. 2T3 Myocardial imp …
