Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Children With Muscular Dystrophy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This protocol will exploit novel state of the art cardiovascular magnetic resonance techniques to examine important changes in the heart in children with muscular dystrophy. The purpose of this study is to compare cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with the collected cardiac outcome data obtained in protocol: PITT1109 - Cardiac Outcome Measures in Children with Muscular Dystrophy.
