Synopsis

Keywords: Myocardium, Tissue CharacterizationTo provide more imaging basis for early identification and prognosis evaluation of DMD-associated cardiomyopathy(DMD-CM), we analyzed the distribution characteristics of LGE in global and regional left ventricle and the correlation between myocardial fibrosis index and cardiac function indexes in 29 boys with DMD. The range of LGE and the distribution pattern of interventricular septal involvement are related to the decrease of cardiac function. LGE is a reliable tool to identify subclinical DMD-CM and evaluate the severity of the disease.
