Predictors of mortality and cardiovascular outcomes in Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy in a long-term follow-up
CONCLUSIONS: LMNA mutation and higher NT-proBNP concentration were associated with increased mortality in EDMD. Lower TAPSE was a predictor of a composite secondary endpoint in EDMD.PMID:34783354 | DOI:10.33963/KP.a2021.0159
