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

Aim: We performed a two‐year follow‐up comparative study of long‐term electrical
parameters between the right atrial appendage (RAA) and Bachmann's Bundle (BB) …

Aim: The aim of this study was to identify the optimal site for atrial lead implantation in
myotonic dystrophy type 1 (MD1) patients. Methods: The atrial pacing lead was positioned in …

BACKGROUND: Myotonic dystrophy is associated with arrhythmias and risk of sudden
death but also with symptoms of heart failure. Our study aimed to identify early biventricular …

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: Little is known about the long-term development and outcome of cardiac
involvement (CI) in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (MD), Becker muscular dystrophy …

Introduction Syncope and palpitations as the only initial manifestations of myotonic
dystrophy type 1 (MD1) due to a CTG expansion of 50–100 repeats have not been reported …

Myotonic syndromes (MS) include two main groups of diseases characterized by myotonia
and a variable degree of myopathy: congenital myotonias (CM) and myotonic dystrophies …

Abstract Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the commonest muscular dystrophy in adults,
affecting multiple organs in addition to skeletal muscles. Cardiac conduction system …

Background: The aim of this study is to determine systolic and diastolic velocity profiles of
the left and right ventricles by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and to reveal the associations …
