CTICasesDuchenne Muscular Dystrophy (Cardiac Involvement)
Imaging findings
Cardiac MRI showed subepicardial delayed enhancement in the inferolateral and lateral walls. The patient also exhibited profound atrophy of the spinal column, shoulder girdle, and chest wall musculature, characteristic of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Key takeaways
Cardiac MRI is highly valuable in Duchenne muscular dystrophy as it can detect myocardial fibrosis before echo-detectable functional decline occurs.
