title: [Cardiac problems in patients with progressive muscular dystrophy].
abstract: Progressive muscular dystrophy causes both skeletal and significant cardiological changes. Electrocardiographic and echocardiographic examinations were provided in 30 patients with muscular dystrophy (17 of them with progressive muscular dystrophy Duchenne type, 13 with skeletal muscular dystrophy). In 50% cases were found left ventricle filling disorder, in two cases echocardiographic signs of pulmonary hypertension. ECG showed in one third of cases incomplete right bundle branch block, supraventricular tachycardia was also frequently found.
