BACKGROUND: Conduction disturbances and arrhythmias characterize the cardiac feature
of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (MD1), and a myocardial involvement has been suggested as …

Introduction Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is a major prognostic determinant in myotonic
dystrophy type 1 (DM 1). Therefore, markers of early‐stage LV impairment may be useful …

To assess subendocardial (long-axis) and mid-wall (short-axis) left ventricular (LV) function
in patients with type 1 myotonic dystrophy (MD1), with no symptoms or clinical signs of heart …

BACKGROUND: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a systemic disease which affects the
heart and may be a cause of sudden death. Conduction disturbances are the major cardiac …

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most common muscular dystrophy in adults. Cardiac
involvement is reported in 80% of cases and includes conduction disturbances, arrhythmias …

Objective Cardiac disease accounts for a large burden of premature mortality and morbidity
in patients with type 1 myotonic dystrophy (MD). However, little is known about structural …

BACKGROUND: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a neurological disorder with known
cardiac involvement, including conduction disturbances, arrhythmias, and ventricular …

Background Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (MD1) is a neuromuscular disorder with potential
involvement of the heart and increased risk of sudden death. Considering the importance of …

Background: Myotonic dystrophy (MD) is characterized by myotonia with dystrophic
involvement of the muscles. Cardiac involvement is usually not evident in the early stages of …

Background Cardiac involvement in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (MD1) includes conduction
disease, arrhythmias, and left-ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction leading to an increased …
