Overview
An ECG may be helpful in the diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Findings on an ECG suggestive of Duchenne muscular dystrophy include tachycardia, shortened PR interval, increased QRS duration, and prolonged QT interval.
Electrocardiogram
An ECG may be helpful in the diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Findings on an ECG suggestive of Duchenne muscular dystrophy include:[1]
- Tachycardia
- Shortened PR interval
- Increased QRS duration
- Prolonged QT interval
