Abstract

Abstract


Electrocardiographic (ECG) data from twenty Duchenne dystrophic patients aged 6 18 years were examined and compared with normal standards to explore the characteristic ECG abnormalities in these patients. Pathological electrocardiographic patterns were seen in 13 cases whereas 7 electrocardiograms were found normal. Amongst these 13 cases, the ECG of seven patients showed right ventricular hyper­trophy (RVH) with strain. The ECG changes of asymmetric septal hypertrophy (ASH) were also observed in these patients. Four patients showed a pattern indicating combined ventricular hypertrophy (CVH) and one had typical low voltage changes
