Title: A Golden Window: Modifying the Trajectory for Cardiovascular Changes in Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy

Abstract

You have encountered in the literature or practice a child with a chronic disease whose death at a young age is certain, even though the exact date is unknown. Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is one of such lethal chronic diseases characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and early death from cardiac failure. It is the most common muscular dystrophy worldwide. At present, it has no cure. The leading cause of death in these patients is cardiac disease.

What if there is an opportunity to ameliorate the course of cardiac decompensation in DMD? Join us as we discuss diagnostic, health policy and practice opportunities that have the potential to strengthen longitudinal research, foster clinical translation of effective therapies, and ultimately improve the trajectory of cardiac decompensation in patients with DMD. Working together we can ensure that the opportunities to harness these advances are not missed by any child.
