Abstract:
Dystrophinopathies are a group of fatal X chromosome recessive genetic disease. With the application of ventilator technolo-gy, the main causes of death in patients with dystrophinopathies turned from respiratory failure into circulatory failure, and the importance of heart problems has become increasingly prominent. Myocardial damage can be defined with myocardial enzymes, electrocardiogram, ul-trasound cardiogram, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, etc. Drugs for chronic heart failure remain the most important strategy, and heart transplant or left ventricular assist devices implant may be the alternatives for those in the end.
