Distrofia muscular de Duchenne, una causa infrecuente de miocardiopatía dilatada / Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a rare cause of dilated cardiomyopathy

ABSTRACT

Neuromuscular diseases represent a rare cause of dilated myocardiopathy, among them Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most common. Transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging can assess cardiac involvement early. The case of a patient diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who develops cardiac involvement during cardiology follow-up is presented below.
