Supraventricular and Ventricular Arrhythmias are Related to the Type of Myotonic Dystrophy but not to Disease Duration or Neurological Status

ConclusionsIn the relatively large groups of DM1 and DM2 patients we observed frequent various arrhythmias which warrant their close cardiac monitoring. DM1 subjects when compared to DM2 presented more frequently intraventricular and AV conduction defects. However, all types of tachyarrhythmias (except atrial fibrillation) were more frequently observed in DM2 patients.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
