Acute chest pain and nonspecific chest symptoms in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients may be signs of myocardial injury and decline in cardiac function. Detailed clinical observations of these myocardial events and associated symptoms are therefore vital for better patient management. We retrospectively examined changes in the electrocardiogram (ECG) and cardiac function in three DMD patients with prolonged periods of acute chest pain. Chest pain onset was 9 years of age in case 1, 12 years in case 2, and 16 years in case 3.
