Cardiac Medication Use in ACTION for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT: This study seeks to understand cardiac medication use in a large cohort of males with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) followed prospectively with focus on current practices and adherence to consensus directed medical therapy (CDMT). DMD patients have been enrolled in the Advanced Cardiac Therapies Improving Outcomes Network (ACTION) Dystrophinopathy Registry since 2021. Cardiac medication use was analyzed at enrollment and most recent follow-up. CDMT was defined as concurrent use of angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor (ACEi)/angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) /angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) plus beta-blocker (BB) plus mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA).
