Abstract
Since publication of the AAP statement, DMD patients are having cardiac testing sooner and cardiac medication is prescribed more often. However, the majority are not having testing with recommended frequency. Overcoming barriers to recommended cardiac care may lead to a better understanding of the natural history of cardiomyopathy in DMD and better treatment strategies.
