New approaches in the therapy of cardiomyopathy in muscular dystrophy

Therapy particularly targeted at duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is reviewed in context of its projected effect on cardiomyopathy associated with DMD while new therapies are being pursued to treat specifically the cardiomyopathy of DMD.
