Tl-201 myocardial SPECT in patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy: a long-term follow-up.
Tl-201 SPECT was used to evaluate myocardial involvement in 13 patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy. Serial studies of 9 patients were done at two-year intervals. The hypoperfused areas of the left ventricle became more prominent with age and severity.
