Abstract

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive skeletal and cardiac myopathy with a reported classic electrocardiogram (ECG) consisting of sinus tachycardia along with additional ECG abnormalities. Inappropriate sinus tachycardia has been postulated as precipitating the development of ventricular dysfunction. The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of sinus tachycardia and other ECG abnormalities in association with ventricular dysfunction. We hypothesized that the DMD ECG profile would change with age and the degree of ventricular dysfunction.
