Abstract
Both of two fatal cases (one-egg twin) of the progressive muscular dystrophy (Duchenne type) showed quite similar clinical course and electrocardiographic findings, and resulted in heart failure death.
Until about 1 year before death, their electrocardiograms were of characteristically“right ventricle-dominant”state, after that, they coverted to be characterized as those of failured heart.
Autopsy findings of the two were characteristic of congestive sign in whole bodies, with the myocardial involvement revealed on similar location in each heart.
After all, those twin cases were respected on the most representative clinical picture and cardiac involvement in progressive muscular dystrophy.
