B-type natriuretic peptide and cardiac dysfunction in Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Abstract Serum levels of B-type natriuretic peptide have moderate utility for detection of early ventricular dysfunction in adults and in experimental muscular dystrophy. To determine if B-type natriuretic peptide levels are useful in the detection of early left ventricular dysfunction in Duchenne m...
