Abstract Introduction and Aim Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a multisystem disease in
which cardiac involvement is common. The aim of this study was to identify early changes in …

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 …

Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (MD1) is the most frequent inherited neuromuscular disease and
is characterised by cardiac involvement manifested by supra-ventricular and ventricular …

Dystrophia myotonica type 1 (DM1) is an inherited neuromuscular disorder characterized by
progressive myotonia and muscle wasting [1]. Cardiac damage includes abnormalities of …

Background Type 1 myotonic dystrophy (DM1) patients' prognosis is very poor. Up until now,
only a few prognostic factors for cardiovascular events have been identified, and they are …

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

Introduction: To evaluate myocardial strain and extracellular volume in myotonic dystrophy
type 1 (DM1) patients as potential imaging biomarkers of subclinical cardiac pathology …

This autosomal-dominant hereditary disease, caused by the excessive repetition of a CTG
codon in the dystrophia myotonica-protein kinase (DMPK) gene,[2] is frequently complicated …

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

Background Cardiac involvement is a major determinant of prognosis in type 1 myotonic
dystrophy (DM1), but limited information is available about myocardial remodeling and …
