Echocardiography in duchenne muscular dystrophy
Muscle & Nerve, 1980AbstractThe cardiac function of 36 males with Duchenne muscular dystrophy was evaluated by echocardiography, and the results were compared with the results of other tests of cardiac involvement, including serum creatine kinase isoenzyme evaluation, electrocardiography, chest x‐ray, and physical examination of the heart and lungs.

Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive X-linked recessive disorder that affects boys and female carriers. It is the most common dystrophy with onset in childhood in the United States. It is associated with severe, progressive proximal muscle weakening due to absence of dystrophin, which is found in skeletal and cardiac muscles This ...

Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophies
Neurologic Clinics, 2014The dystrophinopathies Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (DMD and BMD) represent the most common inherited disorders of muscle. Improvements in cardiac care, attention to respiratory function, and judicious use of spinal correction surgery have led to increased survival in the DMD population.

In 1868, Guillaume Duchenne (1806–1875), working in Paris, described a ‘‘pseudohypertrophic paralysis y which deceives and deludes by giving the limbs the appearance of great muscularity’’. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common childhood neuromuscular disorder, was the first muscular dystrophy described, is incurable at present and is ...

To the Editor.— Dr Sadjadpour's observation (234:382, 1975) about the causes of toe walking in Duchenne muscular dystrophy certainly requires repeated emphasis and consideration in corrective surgical procedures. Toe walking does, indeed, precede contracture of the heel cords, and the unfortunate use of heel-cord lengthening commonly eliminates ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern and characterized by the lack of the protein dystrophin. Boys with the genetic defect show symptoms of the disease at a young age, and symptoms progressively worsen and result in an early death.

Treatment of Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1982To the Editor.— The recent article by Crisp and colleagues (1982;247:478) and the accompanying editorial by Shelborne (1982;247:496), both of which emphasize the value of early diagnosis in Duchenne's muscular dystrophy (DMD), are highly commendable and may help to prevent needless tragedy and suffering.
