    Prevalence of Subclinical Left Ventricular Dysfunction Evaluated by Global Longitudinal Strain in Female Carriers of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

    Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a muscular disease genetically linked to the DMD gene, which encodes dystrophin, a protein that is crucial for the integrity of skeletal muscle and myocytes. This condition follows an X-linked inheritance pattern. Female carriers are typically asymptomatic; however, they may develop cardiomyopathy, making screening for structural heart disease advisable. We conducted a cross-sectional study to assess the prevalence of subclinical left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, defined by reduced global longitudinal strain (GLS), in asymptomatic female [...] Abstract Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a muscular disease genetically linked to the DMD gene, which encodes dystrophin, a protein that is crucial for the integrity of skeletal muscle and myocytes.
