This editorial refers to "Tissue Doppler imaging detects early asymptomatic myocardial abnormalities in a dog model of Duchenne's cardiomyopathy"{dagger} by V. Chetboul on page 1934

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an important cause of cardiomyopathy in children and adolescents and is caused by mutations in the gene coding for the protein dystrophin [1]. Dystrophin participates in linking the sarcomere to the sarcolemma and extracellular matrix and plays a role in cell signalling [2]. The disease is characterised by skeletal and cardiac myopathies. Because it is inherited as an X-linked recessive disorder, . . . [Full Text of this Article]
