PPMD has an ongoing commitment to cardiac care, because the heart is a muscle too. Heart issues don’t just affect some people with Duchenne; they affect ALL people with Duchenne. While advances in respiratory care have improved respiratory outcomes, dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure remain the leading cause of death in Duchenne. This expert panel discusses the latest in cardiac care and will update you on research being conducted to help rescue cardiac function.

Panelists:

The Importance of Collaboration: ACTION-DMD – Chet Villa, MD
