Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Children With Muscular Dystrophy

PITT0110 - Cardiac Magnetic Resonance: A Parallel Protocol to Cardiac Outcome Measures in Children With Muscular Dystrophy

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.
