The Vectorcardiogram Characteristic and Its Predictive Value for Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction of Children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Our study firstly showed that QRS loop percentage in the right anterior quadrant in the horizontal plane (horizontal quadrant II) and QRS loop percentage in the anterior superior quadrant in the sagittal plane (sagittal quadrant IV) could be abnormal in DMD boys as early as before 5 years old. Evaluation of the myocardium by VCG in the early age to predict possible cardiac systolic dysfunction may have important implications for the ongoing management of DMD boys.
