Heart lesion is characteristic in Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, however there is no unanimous opinion about its appearance time.
To evaluate early changes of the left ventricular morphometric parameters, systolic and diastolic function for the children with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy and to compare with the same age healthy children's data.
Eighteen patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy and 15 same age healthy boys were investigated. Mean age - 11 years. Echocardiography was performed in all cases.
There were no changes of the left ventricular morphometric parameters, systolic and diastolic function observed in young age patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy.

评估杜氏肌营养不良症患儿左心室形态学参数、收缩和舒张功能的早期变化,并与同年龄健康儿童的数据进行比较。
对18例杜氏肌营养不良症患者和15名同年龄健康男孩进行了研究。平均年龄为11岁。所有病例均进行了超声心动图检查。
在杜氏肌营养不良症的年轻患者中,未观察到左心室形态学参数、收缩和舒张功能的变化。
