Echocardiography versus (201)Tl semi-quantitative gated single photon emission tomography for the evaluation of cardiac disease associated with late stage Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

CONCLUSION: Although our patients were few we indicated that in DMD patients, aged older than 20 years, at an advanced stage of the disease, the EF values calculated by EC were lower than those by (201)Tl SQGS possibly due to thoracic deformity. PMID: 27035908 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
