Understanding heart risk in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at heart health in people with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy to find better ways to predict and track heart problems. The goal is to improve future treatment trials.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Becker muscular dystrophy, or be a carrier of muscular dystrophy (confirmed by genetic testing or muscle biopsy).
- You cannot have another genetic or birth condition that affects heart function or heart disease progression.
- If you are currently on an experimental treatment that could affect your heart, you can still have your past data used, but you won't be able to continue collecting new data for this study.

This study examines how different genetic changes in the DMD gene affect heart function in boys with dystrophinopathy (a muscle-weakening condition). Understanding this connection may help doctors better monitor and treat heart problems in affected boys.
This study uses MRI scans and blood or other biomarkers to better understand muscular dystrophy in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). It may help researchers track disease changes and identify measurable markers over time.
This study uses a new type of ultrasound scan to look at muscle health in people with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy. It aims to find better ways to track the disease over time.
This study collects electronic health records (medical information already in your doctor's computer system) from people with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy, or female carriers of these conditions. Researchers will use this data to better understand the diseases and improve care over time.
This registry collects information about people with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy, including women who carry the gene (with or without symptoms). It may help researchers better understand the condition and plan future studies.
This study collects information from patients with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy to learn more about the conditions and improve care. You will share data through a telemedicine platform, and you need a smartphone or tablet to take part.
